Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the onion and garlic and cumin and cook until the aromatics are soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 15-20 minutes. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the same pan and continue to cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the meat, warm through and taste for seasoning.
