Description

A flavorful beef chuck roast cooked with guajillo and ancho chiles, perfect for serving over rice or in warm tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 4 dried ancho chiles
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chiles by removing stems and seeds. Soak in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft.
  2. Blend soaked chiles with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of beef broth until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
  4. Pour the blended sauce over the seared beef and add remaining broth to cover.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 2-3 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Shred or chop the beef in the sauce before serving over rice or in warm tortillas.
