Instructions
- In a dutch oven or wide skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add beef and cook until lightly browned.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until softened and release juice.
- Add water or broth. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
- Add chili peppers.
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 to 50 minutes or until beef is tender, adding more water in ½ cup increments as needed.
- Add potatoes and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and sauce is reduced and thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the beef in thin, uniform slices to ensure fast and even cooking. Slice across the grain for a more tender chew.
- I prefer the taste of fresh tomatoes, but tomato sauce will work in a pinch.
