INGREDIENTS

  • Chiles & Spices

    • 9 New Mexico dry chiles - washed, with stems and seeds removed
    • 🧂 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon black pepper

  • Liquids

    • 💧 3 cups water
    • 2 cups beef stock, or as needed

  • Beef

    • 🥩 5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat

  • Binders & Bases

    • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • Oil & Vegetables

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧅 1 large yellow onion, chopped

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Place chiles and 3 cups water into a medium stockpot, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes to soften.

3

Strain into a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid.

4

Place chiles and some of the liquid into a blender, and purée until smooth. Add more liquid as necessary to form a smooth sauce.

5

Pass sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or tough skins; set aside.

6

Cut beef into 1- to 2-inch chunks. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Dredge beef chunks in the seasoned flour; set aside.

7

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.

8

Add beef chunks a few at a time, so as not to overcrowd the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Remove seared meat, and continue browning the remaining meat. Return reserved seared meat to the pot.

9

Stir in puréed chile mixture. Add beef stock just to cover beef chunks, or to personal preference.

10

Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to lowest setting, and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat is tender. If necessary, adjust with more stock during cooking.
