Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef and Green Chili Tomato Stew.
Step 1
To start your delicious beef stew, grab a Dutch oven and warm up some vegetable oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking—this is the sweet spot for browning your beef.
Step 2
While the oil heats, take a moment to pat your beef cubes dry with paper towels; this helps them sear beautifully.
Step 3
Once the oil is ready, add the beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Step 4
Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they’re nicely browned on all sides.
Step 5
When they’re ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a bowl and set it aside for now.
Step 6
Next, let’s build those flavors! In the same pot, toss in your chopped onions and let them cook in the drippings for about five minutes, or until they’re softened and fragrant.
Step 7
Then, stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for just another minute—this will add a wonderful aroma to your dish.
Step 8
Now it’s time to bring everything back together.
Step 9
Return the browned beef to the pot, along with any juices that have collected in the bowl.
Step 10
Add in the canned tomatoes with their juice, the drained green chile peppers, a splash of beer, beef broth, dried oregano, ground cumin, and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 11
Don’t forget to season with salt and black pepper to taste; this is where you can really make it your own! Bring this hearty mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 12
Cover the pot partially and let it simmer gently for about two and a half hours.
Step 13
This slow cooking process will make the beef incredibly tender and allow all those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 14
As the stew simmers, your kitchen will fill with mouthwatering aromas, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste! Enjoy the journey of creating this comforting dish, and get ready for a meal that warms the soul.
