Chile Colorado

 

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds beef stew meat cut into 1 inch chunks

1 16oz container Bueno frozen red chile

32oz beef broth

2 tablespoons canola oil

½ cup diced yellow onion

1 clove garlic pressed

3/4 teaspoon dried mexican oregano

2 large potatoes in 1 inch chunks

1-teaspoon kosher salt

 

Directions: 

Brown stew meat in a medium to large saucepan on medium high heat.  When all of the moisture from the stew meat has evaporated (about 15 - 20 minutes), then add onion and cook for 1 minute.  Now add defrosted chile sauce, beef broth, garlic and stir to combine all ingredients.  Bring it up to a boil and then add salt.  Turn the heat down to low and cover with a lid that is vented slightly.  Cook on low for approximately 1 ½ hours, or until the meat is tender and sauce has reduced by half, stirring occasionally.  After the stew has been cooking for an 1 hour and 15 minutes, add the potatoes to finish cooking the last 15 minutes.  They will soften up and take on the flavor of the sauce.
