Ingredients

6 servings

2 ½ lb beef chuck roast, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
1 medium white onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 ½ cups beef broth
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried mexican oregano
½ tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer, working in two batches to avoid crowding, and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
