Guajillo Beef Colorado Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chilies

   Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo chilies. Rinse them under cold water and soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Make the Sauce

   In a blender, combine the softened guajillo chilies, 1 cup of beef broth, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

3. 3

   Sear the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Beef

   Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Pour in the guajillo sauce and the remaining beef broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the sauce, stir to combine, and serve hot.
