Episode 452-Chili Colorado-Beef Chunks In Red Sauce
Chili Colorado is a simple dish made with beef (or pork), usually, beef that is stewed in a mixture of rehydrated chilis with some onion, garlic, and a few simple spices.
I use several dried Mexican chilis….Ancho and Guajilo chilies are rehydrated in hot water after being “warmed” up in a dry skillet.
I used 4.25 lbs of chuck, 1 large white onion, 5 garlic cloves, 4 Ancho, and 5 Guajilo chiles along with about 5 cups of stock, 3 cups beef, 2 cups chicken.
Takes about 3 hours 30 minutes to stew the beef. Serve with rice or on corn tortillas with radish, sour cream, raw onion, and cilantro. You will be amazed at how tender and succulent it is and also how little heat it has. These chiles are not very spicy but have TONS of complex flavor.
I hope you give it shot!
