Chop the peppers into smaller pieces. Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and chili powder. Cook 30 sec., stirring. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 min. Add the beef, chopped peppers, salt (in moderation), and pepper. Cook beef 5 min., until browned, stirring constantly.
