• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the beef with the garlic powder and salt and pepper. Add to the pan, in batches, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6-8 minutes per batch. Drain the juices into a small bowl and set aside. Return the meat to the pan.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, then add the tomatoes and onion and cook about 8 minutes. Return the reserved juices to the pan, add the water and oregano, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
