1
Cut sandwich steaks into bite-sized pieces or use pre-cubed steak, and optionally prepare the liver by cutting into bite-sized pieces.

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot.

Brown the beef (and liver if using) in batches, stirring occasionally, until the exterior is seared on all sides; do not overcrowd the pot.

Add the sliced onions to the pot with the browned meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and release their moisture.

Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, allspice, and Portuguese allspice (pimenta-da-jamaica), coating the meat and onions evenly.
