Lower heat to medium and add onion and garlic to the pot.


Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is browned, about 6 minutes.


Stir in coriander, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.


Add broth, tomatoes, meat and remaining salt, and bring to a boil.


Lower heat, cover the pot, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 1/4 hours, stirring the stew occasionally.
