Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Add the ground beef and break it up into smaller pieces.
Cook the meat until it browns nicely and any liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Remove the meat to a plate, but do not clean the pan.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the onion, deseed and finely chop the chili pepper, and mince the garlic.
Add a little more olive oil to the pan, then add the prepared vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion softens.
Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, dried oregano, and smoked paprika. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes to mellow the tomato paste’s bitterness.
Return the browned meat to the pan, add the chopped tomatoes and beef stock, stir, and simmer gently for 45 to 60 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Once cooked, stir in the pre-cooked kidney beans and a piece of dark chocolate. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to melt the chocolate and blend the flavors.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, and extra chili if desired for more heat.
