Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium high heat. Add stew meat and sear until browned, about 2 minutes.

Add onion, garlic and jalapeños, and cook until fragrant. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, kidney beans and 1 to 2 cups water, making sure to cover most of the ingredients.

Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender. This takes about 90 to 120 minutes.

Serve immediately with jalapeño Monterey Jack cheese and cornbread, if desired.
