Directions
1
Begin by preparing the chiles for the chile sauce. Add 10 New Mexico chile pods (cleaned) and 1/4 of an onion to a pot.
2
Cover the chiles and onion with water, set it on high heat, and bring it to a boil.
3
Once the chiles come to a boil, turn off the heat and transfer them to a blender cup.
4
Add 3 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp beef bouillon, 2 tsp ground cumin, and 2 1/2 tsp oregano to the blender.
5
Add 3 1/2 cups of water to the blender and blend until smooth.
6
Set the sauce aside and prepare the meat.
7
Cut 3 lbs of beef chuck into small cubes.
8
Season the meat with 4 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of black pepper.
9
Coat the meat with all-purpose flour.
10
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
11
Layer the meat in the pan and sear it for one minute per side.
12
Remove the seared meat from the pan and repeat the process for the remaining meat.
13
Once all the meat is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low.
14
Add the sauce to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits.
15
Return all the meat into the sauce and mix it.
16
Allow the sauce to come to a simmer.
17
Once it comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to low.
18
Add 2 bay leaves, cover the pan, and allow it to cook for 1 hour and a half or until the meat is tender.
19
Check the meat to ensure it is tender.
20
Turn off the heat and serve.
