Spanish term or phrase: ...La metodología consistió de tres pasos...
I do not even know if this is correct in Spanish, since one could say "la metodología consistió EN tres pasos"... But this is always sort of crazy with prepositions.

Should you say: "Methodology consisted OF three steps",

or,

"THE methodology consisted OF three steps"

Thanks for a correct suggestion.
