- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
Prepare The Corned Beef:
- Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the brisket into cubes, trimming any excess fat if you prefer.
Sauté The Aromatics:
- In a big skillet or Dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and minced garlic, and cook until they’re soft and fragrant about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in diced bell pepper and tomato, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re tender.
Cook The Corned Beef:
- Push the sautéed veggies to one side of the skillet, and add the cubed corned beef to the other side.
- Sprinkle the beef with oregano, cumin, paprika, black pepper, cloves, and bay leaves.
- Sear the beef cubes until they’re browned on all sides, around 5-6 minutes.
Simmer:
- Pour beef broth over the beef and veggies, and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the skillet or Dutch oven, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 1 hour to let all those flavors blend.
Add Vegetables:
- After an hour, add diced potatoes and carrots to the skillet.
- Keep cooking, covered, for another 30 minutes until the veggies are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
