This hearty stew is all about flavor balance. The natural sugars in the tomatoes and sweet potatoes counter the meatiness of beef chuck. Alliums and cumin tie together the sweet and savory flavors, while lime juice adds brightness. Sour cream is a cooling garnish and if you'd like a little tangy heat, offer some pickled jalapeños. This doesn't need any sides for serving, but warmed tortillas or cilantro rice would be great accompaniments.
Tip
Don't cut the beef any larger than into ¾-inch chunks. If the pieces are larger, the meat may not tenderize in the time specified.
