Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds stew meat, diced into 3/4-inch cubes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-3 jalapeños, minced
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Season stew meat with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium high heat. Add stew meat and sear until browned, about 2 minutes.
