Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (fire-roasted preferred)
• 15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the cubed beef stew meat and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the stew cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Stir in the black beans and frozen corn. Simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to heat through and thicken.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or spices.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.
