Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb beef chuck roast, cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the browned beef to the pot and add beef broth, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours or until beef is tender.
  • Serve hot with tortillas or rice as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef with spices overnight before cooking.
