Trim the Beef of any excess fat and cut the beef into 3-inch pieces. Set it aside.
Chop the onions into one inch chunks and the mushrooms into halves. Set the veggies aside.
Preheat a Dutch oven (or another oven-safe dish) with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add in the Beef and brown each piece on all sides. Remove the Beef from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of oil and cook the onions and mushrooms in the Beef drippings until they turn a light shade of brown.
Add the Beef back into the pan and season the pot with salt, cumin, and black pepper. Add in bay leaves and beef broth. Cover with a lid.
Bake in a preheated oven to 375°F for about 90 minutes or until Beef is tender. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish and enjoy!
