Step 1: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 2: Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash starts to soften slightly.
Step 3: Stir in the corn kernels and cooked beans, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the ground cumin and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Step 6: Taste the stew and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
