In a 4-quart sauce pan brown diced chuck steak in vegetable oil, stir steak frequently until lightly brown.; add beef broth and water.
Simmer beef mixture for 1 hour on medium low heat.
After beef has been simmering for 1 hour, add 2 cups of tomatoes that have been processed in a blender with their juice; strain after processing to remove seeds and pulp.
Add all spices to meat and tomatoes and stir well.
