How to Make Beef Vegetables

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs of beef steak, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1 large onion, chopped.
Brown the beef on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Add 2 cups of beef broth or water to the pot.
Stir in 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
Add 1 cup of chopped carrots, 1 cup of chopped potatoes, 1 cup of chopped zucchini, and 1/2 cup of chopped green beans (or your favorite vegetables).
Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot over rice or couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
