1 lb (450g) beef stew meat, cubed
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.

In the same pot, sauté onion until soft, then add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add the seared beef back to the pot along with diced tomatoes, beef broth, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add the sliced okra and cook uncovered for another 20-30 minutes, until the okra is tender and the stew thickens slightly.

Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
