Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Tear the chilies in strips and pour one cup boiling water over them. Let them soak for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and brown the beef cubes. Add the chili soaking liquid and bring to a boil. Add the bay leaves, turn down the heat and let simmer for an hour.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, puree the remaining ingredients, including the chilies, with a little water if needed, in an electric blender. Add the puree to the meat and let simmer for 30 minutes more. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Tip
  • Serve this with red kidney beans and rice.
