Boil water in a pot.

Add 2 jalapeños, 1 Serrano pepper, 2 green tomatoes, 2 red tomatoes, and a small piece of white onion to the boiling water until softened.

Cut beef stew meat into smaller pieces, leaving some fat for flavor.

Set the cut beef aside and cut 4 potatoes into cube-sized pieces.

Add the softened ingredients to a blender with 1 cup of the boiling water and blend until smooth.

In a pot, add the blended salsa mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of oregano; blend well.

Add the beef to the pot with the salsa mixture and cover to cook until the meat changes color and the water reduces.

Once the water reduces, add a little vegetable oil to fry the meat for flavor.

Add chopped onion and cover the pot again to let the meat cook.

After about 5-8 minutes, uncover the pot and add the cubed potatoes, covering again to cook until the potatoes are fully cooked.

Add garlic powder to the meat and potatoes without measuring, mixing well.

Once the potatoes are soft and the meat is fully cooked, add the blended salsa to the pot and mix well.

Let the dish simmer for about 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
