From my aunt:

Ternera con arvejas

Se puede hacer o con papa o con arvejas.
La carne cortada en pedacitos. Se le pone un pico de harina, en la olla aceite y mantequilla, poner la carne y cuando este blanca se le agrega el caldo, sal, pimienta, nuez moscada y una cucharada de pasta de tomate, si es una libra de carne. Poner las papas en cubitos o las arvejas.
Cocinar hasta  que este una crema o salsa, no líquido.
Si las arvejas son de lata ponerlas al final, 5 minutos antes de servir.
