   Prepare the Beef

   Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.

   Make the Sauce

   In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the guajillo and ancho chiles for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove stems and seeds. Blend toasted chiles with onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and 1 cup of beef broth until smooth.

   Cook the Beef

   In a large pot, brown the beef chunks on all sides. Add the blended sauce, remaining beef broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3 hours until the beef is tender.
