Prepare the Beef and Potatoes:

Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the fried potatoes into the spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Add a little beef broth to help incorporate the flavors.
- Transfer this mixture into a pot containing the boiled beef and its broth. Stir gently to combine, adjusting the consistency with additional water if necessary.

Simmer and Season:
