Step 3 -Add the beef cubes in batches and cook, while stirring, until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4 -Transfer the browned beef chunks to a plate and repeat until all of the beef cubes are browned.
Step 5 -In the same pan, add the sofrito and cook, while stirring, until very fragrant and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 6 -Add the garlic and the cilantro and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7 -Add the tomato sauce, the Sazòn, the remaining cumin, and the remaining oregano and stir well to combine.

Step 11 -Add the carrots and the olives and simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, until the meat is fall-apart tender, about 1 hour. Add the potatoes in the last 20-25 minutes of simmering.
Step 12 -Taste the stew for seasoning and add the salt, as needed.
Step 13 -Garnish with the fresh herbs and serve.
