Wipe the meat with a damp cloth and cut it into even sized chunks. Put them in an earthenware casserole, and add the onions and potatoes. Peel and slice the tomatoes, discarding seeds, and add them to the casserole. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a generous pinch of oregano. Add the olive oil and water, cover the casserole and cook in a slow oven (350F) for about 1 hour, or a little longer if necessary. Just before serving, sprinkle the meat with grated cheese.
