Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the beef stew meat dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Working in batches, sear the beef in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the browned beef and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium and add the diced yellow onion to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the finely chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano to the pot. Stir to combine and toast the spices for 1 minute.

Step 7

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Stir well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Return the browned beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the beef simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with rice, beans, or warm flour tortillas for a complete meal.
