A mexican style beef stew. You can also serve this over rice or noodles, but I prefer it on tortillas like a burrito. This doubles and freezes well.

Time 3h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb stewing beef
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped (more or less to taste)
4 cups low sodium beef broth (water can be substituted, adjust seasonings)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon comino
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
flour tortilla
fresh cilantro, stems removed
chopped onion
shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Brown beef well in a large cast iron dutch oven, a heavy stainless steel pot can be used with good results.
  • Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add stock, chili powder, comino, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender.
  • In a separate skillet mix flour and oil together to form a roux.
  • Cook over medium high heat until a dark beige color, about 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to let it burn.
  • Carefully add roux to stewed beef.
  • Be very careful because it can splatter.
  • Bring back to a simmer and thicken, simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Serve like a soft taco on flour tortillas with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, shredded cheese and sour cream for garnish.
