Dried California (Anaheim) chiles  
Dried New Mexico chiles  
Chipotle chiles, dried or canned  
2 oz. Beer  
Teaspoon Vegetable oil  
Medium onion, chopped  
Large cloves garlic, minced  
lbs. Beef chuck, well trimmed, chili grind  
Cup Beef broth  
Teaspoon Ground cumin  
Teaspoon Paprika  
Teaspoon Dried oregano  
½
1
Teaspoon Sugar  
Salt  
Split the dried chiles in half and remove stems and seeds (if using canned  
chipotle chiles, do not add them at this time). Put them in a saucepan with  
the beer. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring  
occasionally to be sure all parts of the chiles are softening.  
While chiles are simmering, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet and  
saut the onions 5 minutes, then add the garlic and saut 1 minute more.  
Remove onions from the pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil, and cook  
the beef, stirring frequently, until the beef is lightly browned. Put the  
beef and onions in a large pot or Dutch oven with the beef broth. Bring to a  
boil, reduce heat and simmer.  
Put the chiles and cooking liquid in a blender or food processor. If using  
canned chipotle chiles, remove the stems and add chipotles to the blender.  
Puree until a thick red sauce forms. Push the sauce through a sieve to  
remove the bits of skin, then add sauce to the simmering meat. Stir in  
seasonings and sugar. Continue to simmer for at least 1 hour, until meat is  
tender, adding beer, beef broth, or water if needed. Add salt, adjust  
seasonings to taste.
