Preheat Vida Sana™ 7-Quart Dutch Oven on medium-high heat for 5 minutes (PL 7 in PH induction).
Sprinkle water droplets onto the Dutch Oven. When the droplets bead and dance across the surface, add meat and sear without lid for a minute.
Reduce temperature to medium (PL5 in PH induction). Add the onions and peppers, and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add garlic and carrots, and continue to stir constantly for about 3 minutes.
Mix in tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, salt, pepper, and thyme. Pour in beef stock and beans; mix well.
Cover with lid and turn valve to the Steam-Seal™ position, cook for 5 -10 minutes.
Uncover, add cilantro and mix well.
Tips:
To ensure that meat and carrots cook uniformly, cut the meat into small squares and slice the carrots using the first thickness setting on the Mandolin Slicer.
For richer-flavored stew, let it marinate in the refrigerator before cooking. The longer the stew marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
