How to Make Puerto Rican Carne Guisada Beef Stew

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven.
2. Season 2 lbs beef stew meat generously with 1/2 tablespoon of adobo seasoning.
3. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. This will take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
4. Add 2 cups of water (or beef broth for richer flavor) to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 hour.
5. Add 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 bay leaf to the pot.
6. Continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally. Remove bay leaf before serving.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with white rice or crusty bread.
