Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the chopped red and green bell peppers, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
