A flavorful and hearty beef stew with a smoky chipotle kick, perfect for a comforting meal.
Season the beef with the cumin, salt, and black pepper evenly.
Ensure the beef is evenly coated with the seasoning for consistent flavor.
Heat some oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and tomatoes, and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the seasoned beef to the pan and brown it on all sides.
Browning the beef adds depth to the flavor of the stew.
Pour in 2 cups of hot water, add the bouillon and chipotle peppers, and stir well.
Ensure the bouillon is fully dissolved for a consistent flavor.
Cover the pan and simmer on medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the stew doesn't dry out; add more water if needed.
Uncover, add another cup of water, and simmer for 30 minutes.
This step helps to tenderize the beef further.
Add the cilantro and the final cup of water, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Adding cilantro at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Turn off the heat and let the stew rest, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
Allowing the stew to rest helps the flavors meld together.
Serve the stew warm with rice or tortillas.
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
