  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the beef and brown on all sides before setting aside.

  2. Add the onion, and bell peppers to the pan and cook until tender, about 7-10 minutes. (Add more olive oil if needed.)

  3. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, allspice, and cloves, and cook until fragrant, about a minute, mixing it in as it cooks.

  4. Add the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, oregano, and bay leaves, and mix before adding the beef.

  5. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beef is falling apart tender, about 2 hours.

  6. Remove the beef from the pot, shred and mix back in, along with the olives and capers and simmer for 5 minutes.

  7. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste before mixing in the cilantro and enjoying!
