In a medium stockpot, place the beef, stock, and yuca strips; simmer over low heat, covered, for 30 to 45 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the hogao and set aside.

Add 1 cup of water and the potato halves to the beef. Simmer for 20 minutes, and let the water dry out so the beef browns a little. Add the last cup of water, hogao, salt, and pepper, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes more, covered. Check that the yuca and potatoes are completely cooked and soft when pierced with a fork.

Uncover, check that the beef is tender, and serve over white rice.
