2. Add the meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. Then, add peppers and cook for a couple of minutes until they soften.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Next, add tomatoes to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes.
4. Add flour to the pot and cook until heated through. Pour in the soup and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
5. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add water as needed to keep the mixture from getting too thick.
6. Once the meat is tender, serve the carne guisada warm and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
