Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5:

Lower the heat and put a lid on your pan.

Cook for 1 hour over low heat (4/10). Stir regularly.

Step 6:

After 1 hour of cooking, add the red kidney beans. It is not necessary to drain them.

Continue cooking covered for 30 minutes over low heat (4/10). Stir regularly. If necessary, add a little water during cooking if it is lacking so that the meat does not dry out. Also adjust the seasoning of your dish: salt, pepper and chili powder.

When the meat is cooked, serve it hot.
