1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds top round steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/4 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup dry red wine
