  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. In the same pot, add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped green chiles, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes to release their aromas.
  4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add diced potatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  5. 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.
