Chile Colorado


Ingredients:

8 dried New Mexico chiles - washed, with stems and seeds removed

3 cups water

4 pounds boneless beef

1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon Sea salt

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cups beef stock or water



Preparation:



Place chiles into a medium bowl and bring 3 cups water to a boil. Pour boiling water over chiles, cover and allow to steep for 30 minutes to soften.

Remove the chiles from the bowl and place into a blender along with a little of the liquid, reserving the rest. Puree until smooth, adding more liquid as necessary until a smooth sauce is formed.

Pass through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with the back of a spoon or ladle to remove the seeds and skins; set aside.

Cut the beef into 1 - 2 inch chunks.

Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef chunks in the seasoned flour; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add beef chunks, in batches if necessary, and brown evenly.

Stir in chile mixture. Add beef stock to cover beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat is tender.

Add more stock if necessary during cooking.

Serve with hot corn tortillas. Garnish with chopped green onion and sour cream, if desired.
