2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 Large onions, chopped
2 Bell peppers, chopped
4 Jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 Habanero pepper, seeded and minced
3 cans Canned tomatoes, undrained (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup Water
6 Garlic cloves, minced

4 teaspoons Beef bouillon granules
2 teaspoons Pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Dried oregano (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped

Step by Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, brown the beef in oil on all sides, then transfer the meat to a slow cooker along with the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, and the habanero.
  2. Combine the tomatoes, water, garlic, cilantro, beef bouillon granules, pepper, cumin, and oregano in a bowl, stir the mixture together, and pour it into the slow cooker over the meat.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove the roast from the cooker and allow it to cool slightly.
