  1. Cook the Meat

    In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked.

    Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add diced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent.

    Add beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any stuck bits.
  5. Season the Stew

    Stir in cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low.

    Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
  6. Add Corn

    If using, stir in corn kernels and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

    Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  7. Serve

    Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy!

    Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
