Ingredients

  • 3-4 Dried Ancho chili peppers
  • 3-4 Dried Pasilla chili peppers
  • 1.5 pounds Beef chuck roast cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 5 ounces Onion diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin powder
  • 3 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt plus more to taste

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium low heat lightly toast the dried chili peppers for approximately 3 minutes.
  • Remove the peppers and slice open. Pour seeds out into the trash then place the peppers in a bowl and pour 2 cups of hot water over them. Let the peppers soak for 15-30 minutes, or until they have softened.
  • Place the softened peppers in a food processor along with 1 cup of the water they soaked in and puree until you have a smooth paste. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Add beef cubes and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt before browning the meat. Approximately 10 minutes. See Note #1
  • Set browned meat aside and add the onions to the skillet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes before adding the garlic and continuing to cook for another 2 minutes.
  • In a large pot add browned beef, cooked onions and garlic, cumin, beef broth, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to medium-low to maintain a simmer. Continue to cook for 2 hours or until beef is tender.
  • When the chili is ready add red wine vinegar and salt to taste before serving.

Notes

  1. Don’t crowd the meat. If you need more space work in batches setting aside a portion of the browned beef before adding more to the pan.
