Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp ancho chile powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp masa harina
  • 2 tbsp warm water

Method
 

  1. Season chuck with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; pat dry.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Brown half the beef 6 minutes; repeat with remaining oil and beef.
  3. Reduce to medium; cook onion 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic, ancho, cumin, and tomato paste 1 minute.
  4. Return beef; add broth and remaining salt. Simmer partly covered 2 hours until fork-tender and at least 145°F.
