Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and chopped)
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cups Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the pot. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the beef to the pot, then add the roasted and chopped green chiles, diced potatoes, beef broth, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors are fully developed.

Step 6

Taste the stew and adjust seasonings with more salt or pepper, if needed. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 7

Ladle the stew into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or tortillas on the side.
