For beef:
3 pounds skirt steak
1 white onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 whole allspice
1 whole clove
For sauce:
3/4 pound tomatoes (2 to 3 medium), quartered
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 ounces dried guajillo chiles, wiped clean
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 whole allspice
1 whole clove
1/2 cup chopped white onion
3 large garlic cloves
3 to 5 dried chiles de árbol, wiped clean, stemmed, and seeded, or 1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
Equipment: an electric coffee/spice grinder
Accompaniments: hot corn tortillas or rice; cooked black beans (rinsed and drained if canned); chopped white onion; lime wedges

Steps:

  • Cook beef:
  • Put all beef ingredients in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot with 1 teaspoon salt and enough water (about 2 quarts) to cover beef. Simmer, partially covered, skimming foam and adding more hot water if necessary to keep beef covered, until tender, about 2 hours.
  • Remove beef and shred (once cool).
  • Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids, and skim off fat.
  • Make sauce:
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoons oil in a 4-sided sheet pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until softened and charred, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Slit guajillo chiles lengthwise, then stem and seed. Heat a dry heavy medium skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast chiles in 2 batches, opened flat, turning and pressing with tongs, until more pliable and slightly changed in color, about 30 seconds per batch. Transfer to a bowl and soak in hot water to cover until softened, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Toast peppercorns, cumin seeds, allspice, and clove in hot skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and a shade darker, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a blender.
  • Drain soaked chiles and purée in blender with toasted spices, broiled tomatoes, onion, garlic, 3 chiles de árbol, 2 cups broth, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth, about 2 minutes. For a spicier sauce, add remaining 2 chiles de árbol and purée again.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in cleaned pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then slowly add sauce, stirring (it will spatter), and simmer, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Add beef and 1 cup broth (reserve remainder for another use) and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until meat is heated through, about 5 minutes.
