Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef chuck or stew meat, cut into chunks
- 4 roasted green chiles (like Anaheim or Hatch), chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
- Optional: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and shredded cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped green chiles, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes to release their aromas.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Add diced potatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
- Let the stew simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chiles based on your heat preference.
- Use high-quality green chiles for optimal flavor, available online or in specialty stores.
- For a thicker stew, mash some potatoes or simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
