- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 chopped Red bell pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean beef stew meat to the skillet, cooking until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, add the chopped red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to combine and cover again, cooking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the beef is tender and the peppers are soft.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
