Cook the diced beef with salt, black pepper and 1 cup water for 25 minutes, until tender.
Blend the capia peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes and garlic into a coarse sauce.
Soften the chopped onion in palm oil for 6 minutes.
Add the pepper sauce and cook for 12 minutes, until thickened.
Add the meat, meat stock and dried shrimp to the pot.
Coarsely chop the spinach and add it to the sauce.
Cook the stew uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, before the greens lose their bite.
