I can see why it would taste like beef with tomato paste, look at the amounts of the spice the recipe calls for.
I always laugh at recipes that call for something like 'an EIGHTH of a teaspoon of chili powder.'
I mean why even bother, 1/8tsp isn't going to do anything. IMO spices like chili powder and cumin should be used in denominations no smaler than a tablespoon. So, want the beef to have flavour? Add (ALOT) more cumin and chili powder and taste it while its cooking to test if it has enough flavour.
