Heat a 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over med-high; pat meat dry, season with salt/pep + sear undisturbed 2-3 min until browned; flip meat over + sear 2-3 min more for medium-rare (for more well done, increase cook time 1-2 min per side); set aside

Dice pepper mix, then heat 1 tbsp oil in same pot over med-high; sauté with salt/pep 4-5 min or until soft + starting to brown; add beef, beans + 2 cups water to veggies; simmer 8-10 until hot

Season stew with salt/pep then divide to bowls; sprinkle each bowl with 3-4 tbsp cheese—looks good!
