Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 tbsp cooking oil

1 lb beef stew meat, cubed

3 oz tomato paste

10 fluid oz beef broth

4 fluid oz water

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp chili powder ("or" more)

1/2 tsp ground cumin ("or" more)

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

salt

2 serrano chili peppers, seeded or not and chopped ("or" more)

2 tsp cornstarch

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat, and cook beef until evenly brown.
Pour off excess fat and then stir in tomato paste, beef broth and water.
Season with garlic, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, salt and serrano peppers.
Reduce heat, and simmer (or place in a slow cooker on low setting) for 8 to 12 hours – the longer you allow it to cook, the more tender the beef will be.
Dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of water, and stir into simmering stew until thickened, about 5 minutes.
