Instructions

Season the beef with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet or casserole over medium-high heat. Add the meat cubes to the pan and cook until they're browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour this sauce into the pan with the meat using a strainer. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 20 minutes. Add more broth if the sauce is too thick.
Stir in the potatoes and peppers, and continue cooking until the meat and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, continually stirring throughout the cooking process. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
Serve on plates with the rice and tortillas.
