A flavorful Mexican dish made with tender beef and a spicy green chile sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups tomatillos, husked and chopped
  • 23 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  4. Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  5. Once the beef is tender, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, blend a portion of the chile verde before serving.
  • Serve with warm tortillas or over rice for a complete meal.
