Steps:

• Cut beef into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In an 8 quart dutch oven over medium high heat, in hot cooking oil, cook 1/3 of the meat at a time until browned on all sides.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the meat to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the onions, green peppers, and garlic to the drippings in the dutch oven.
• Cook 10 minutes over medium heat stirring occasionally.
• Add more oil if necessary.
• Return the meat to the dutch oven.
• Add tomatoes (with liquid) and remaining ingredients except the cheese.
• Over high heat, heat to boiling.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until meat is fork tender.
• Stir occasionally.
• Serve with cheese and additional raw onions.
• Note: Preparing 2 to 3 days ahead of time, refrigerating, and reheating in a crockpot allows the tomato base to mellow and the flavors to blend.
