Method
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the onion, garlic, chilli powder and chilli together for 3-5 min until softened.
Stir in the oregano and braising steak and cook for 5 min, stirring frequently, until well browned.
Add the tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato puree, stock and seasoning. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until meat is very tender, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately in warmed serving bowls.
