1 lb. steak (cut to bite size portions - or use stew meat)
1 jalapeno pepper
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of black beans
1 can of chili beans
1 Tbsp. of ground cumin
1 white onion (or more, to taste)
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro (or 1 Tbps. of cilantro in tube)
6-12 cloves of garlic (to taste)
1 can of beef broth
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 cup of frozen corn
1/4 C of tequila (optional "secret" ingredient)
1 C of orange juice (optional "secret" ingredient)
2 Tbsp of lemon pepper oil (or your choice of oil with improvised spicing)

Steps:

Marinate steak in tequila, orange juice, cumin, garlic, onions, and lemon pepper oil. In a large pot or dutch oven, cook over medium heat for a few minutes on each side. Stir in peppers and canned tomatoes. Cover and let simmer 10-15 minutes. (At this point you may pour the mixture in a crock pot or leave it in the dutch oven - depending on your timeframe/preference.) Add canned beans, corn, diced jalapeno, beef broth and whatever fresh veggies you desire. Cook on low for several hours (dutch oven) to days (crock pot - be sure to add extra water or broth if left for an extended period of time). For best flavor, enjoy the second or third day after preparation - but it's good same day too.
