Texmex Baked Beef Stew Recipes

TEXMEX BAKED BEEF STEW

Steps:

• 1. Cut roast into preferred size cubes. Place in a large oven proof skillet or dutch oven and brown in about 2 tbsp olive oil. As meat is browning add all dried spices and mix together. Dice poblano, carrots, onion, tomato, and celery and grate or mince garlic. Add to browning meat.
• 2. Once meat is fairly well browned add about 1-2 c of beef stock to skillet, cover tightly and place in 325° oven. Bake for about 3-4 hrs checking about half way through and add more beef stock if needed. Do not let all of the liquid cook out! You can thicken the broth with a flour and butter roux, or a cornstarch water mix, but we ate it with the thin broth straight out of the skillet.
