Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and sear them until nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the beef and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté them until the onion is translucent, around 5 minutes.
Add the red and green bell peppers, and cook for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute to caramelize slightly, enhancing its sweetness.
Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth, ground black pepper, bay leaves, and fish sauce.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the pickled jalapeños and adjust salt to taste.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb beef caldereta!
