Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes diced
  • 2 ears of corn cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. After an hour, add the carrots, potatoes, corn, bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in the lime juice just before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
