Not your average Beef Stew. Chunks of beef in a rich tomato base with a kick! After browsing the recipes on here, I thought I would try to invent my own!

Contrary to what most people think, cumin in such large quantities has never been used in Mexican food. A meal overwhelmed by cumin flavour is simply not Mexican. Now, if it's Tex-Mex you want, then I gueess it's ok.
