Warm up with this hearty and spicy stew that combines tender beef and creamy beans, perfect for a cozy night in!

1

Begin by cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces and seasoning generously with salt and black pepper.

2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the beef pieces and brown them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned.

3

Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.

4

Return the browned beef to the pot with the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in the cumin and chili powder, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.

5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and beef broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors meld.

7

Once done, taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving, and enjoy with warm bread or rice.
