Start by preparing the ground beef, using approximately 1 pound.

Cook the ground beef until it loses most of its red color, but do not overcook it.

Grind half a teaspoon of peppercorns and half a teaspoon of cumin together with a little salt.

Once the beef is browned, remove some of the fat but leave some for flavor.

Add about half of a small onion, chopped, along with green bell pepper and carrots to the skillet.

Sauté the vegetables with the beef on medium heat until the onions are translucent.

Add 2 large minced garlic cloves to the mixture and grind them in with the spices.

Add a little water to combine the ingredients.

Add 2 small to medium diced potatoes and canned tomatoes to the skillet.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and add a chunk of chopped cilantro.

Cover the skillet and cook on medium to medium-low heat, checking occasionally.

Taste the dish halfway through cooking to adjust the salt as needed.

Finish cooking until the potatoes are tender and the dish is well combined.
