- 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 6 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
- 4 dried ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions:
- 1. Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- 2. Place the toasted chiles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 20 minutes until softened.
- 3. Drain the chiles and place them in a blender along with the onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano. Blend until smooth, adding a bit of beef broth if needed to help blend.
- 4. In a large pot, brown the beef cubes over medium-high heat. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 5. Once the beef is browned, return all the beef to the pot. Add the chile sauce and beef broth. Stir to combine.
- 6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- 7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes:
This stew is perfect for a cozy dinner. Serve with warm tortillas or over rice.
