Soups and Stews


1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
4 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups beef broth
2 1/4 cups beer, such as Shiner Bock
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
Corn or flour tortillas
Toppings: chopped green onions, sour cream, sliced red jalapeños, store-bought salsa verde

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish; toss beef with flour mixture.

Step 2
Cook beef, in batches, in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until browned. Remove beef from Dutch oven.

Step 3
Add onion, celery, and jalapeño peppers to Dutch oven; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in any remaining flour mixture and tomato paste; cook 2 minutes. Add broth, next 3 ingredients, and beef, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven. Bring to a light boil.

Step 4
Bake, covered, at 350° for 2 1/2 hours or until meat is fork-tender. Skim fat from juices in Dutch oven. Serve with tortillas and desired toppings.
