Beef stew with tomatoes and beans

Description

The recipe won't take much time. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, cook, stirring, until soft, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, chili powder, canned chilies, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to brown, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, beer, and beans. Bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until thickened and the beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired, and serve hot.
