Trim fat from steak, and cut steak into 1-inch cubes. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven; add the steak cubes, and brown well on all sides. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
Trim any fat from chicken thighs, and cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Add chicken cubes and next 9 ingredients (chicken through garlic); simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Add corn and lima beans to stew; cook an additional 45 minutes or until the beans are tender. But...at this point you can throw in a half cup of Maker's Mark or Wild Turkey and let the whole mess simmer for several hours and you'll be real happy with the result!!!
