2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth, diluted
1 cup water
1 (8 ounce) jar picante sauce

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
3 large carrots, scraped and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 ears fresh corn, cut into 1 inch pieces (I prefer to scrap the corn off the ears, much easier to eat!)
2 zucchini, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

Brown the beef stew meat in the oil in a large Dutch oven. Stir in the broth and the next 7 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomatoes, carrots, corn, and zucchini; cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Combine 1/2 cup water and flour; stir until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the meat mixture; cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring occasionally.
