Ground Black Pepper, 1/2 Teaspoon
Salt, to taste
Directions
Ingredients
- 6 dried whole new mexico or california guajillo or pasilla chiles (or a combination of both, or ground chili powder)
- 1 12/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck (well-trimmed of fat and cut into 3/4-inch cubes, or ground beef)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups beef stock or broth (plus more as needed)

- 1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar (plus more as needed)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon distilled white vinegar (plus more as needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
- Lightly toast the chilis in a dry pan for 3 minutes, turning occasionally. Do not burn. Soak the chilis in warm water for 45 minutes until soft. Remove the stems and seeds from the chilis. Puree until smooth. Strain. Stir in the cumin seed, black pepper, and a pinch of salt, reserve. If using chili powder, combine chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, reserve.
- Heat the oil in a heavy gauge skillet or pot. Using 2 tablespoons of oil, brown half the beef. Remove, repeat with the second half.
- Using the remaining tablespoon of oil, lightly brown the onion. When the onions are translucent and golden, add the garlic and stir for a minute.
- Add in the reserved pureed chilis or chili powder and stir.
