Season beef with Adobo.
Heat a Dutch oven to medium heat; add olive oil.
In 2-3 batches, sear beef for 3-5 minutes per side, to get some nice browning.
Once beef is browned, remove from the pan; set aside.
Add onions and sofrito to the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen the brown bits. Add Sazon, chicken bouillon, beef broth, red wine, tomato sauce, bay leaves and Italian seasoning. Bring mixture to a boil; return beef to the pan; stir. Cover; reduce heat to a simmer; cook 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add potatoes, carrots and olives; cook 30 minutes.
When carrots and potatoes are tender, it's done cooking. Remove and discard bay leaves. Stir in vinegar.
Season to taste. If it needs more salt, add a little bit more of the chicken bouillon. It's very salty, so be careful.
Serve with white rice.
4-5 servings.
