  2. 2

    In a separate pot add the oil, heat and brown the stew meat until seared on all sides then add to the pot of beans with the remaining oil in the pot.

  3. 3

    Add all of the vegetables, onions, peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, bay leaves, spices, and seasonings. Add vinegar and stir well cover and lower the flame cook for about 5 to 6 hours.

  4. 4

    While cooking check beans and stir about once every hour. Taste bean broth to make sure the beans are seasoned just right "Salt" Cook until beans are tender and meats are fork tender. Taste to see if they have enough salt and pepper.
