Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 count Ancho chiles, dried and stemmed
- 2 count Guajillo chiles, dried and stemmed
- 2 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 count Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown them on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
While the onions are cooking, toast the dried ancho and guajillo chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Remove the toasted chiles from heat and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, remove seeds if you prefer a milder sauce, and then blend the chiles in a blender or food processor with 1 cup of warm beef broth until smooth, adding more broth if needed.
Add the cumin powder, oregano, and blended chile mixture to the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned beef cubes to the pot, and pour in the remaining beef broth. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Keto Carne Con Chile garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. For a keto-friendly side, accompany it with cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
