- Pour the beans into a colander and rinse under running water, sorting through them to remove any small stones.

- Heat a dry skillet over med heat and toast the cumin, cayenne, paprika, and oregano until they start to become fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.
- Grind the pasilla chili and bay leaf to a fine powder in a clean coffee or spice grinder or in a blender. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and saute the onion, garlic, and green pepper over med heat until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minute Add the toasted spices, ground spices, tomatoes, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, and saute for 15 min, stirring occasionally.
- Add the vegetable mix to the beans, along with water to cover by 4 inches. Cook on top of the stove, covered, for 11/2-2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Adjust seasoning, and add the chopped cilantro and the jalapenos, along with the cubes of sirloin, and simmer for 10 minute
- Serve in bowls with a sprinkling of asiago cheese on each.
