What is Carne con Chile?
Carne con Chile (translated to “beef with chili”) is a beloved Mexican comfort food, known for its tender beef and flavorful chili-based sauce. It’s typically made by simmering beef (usually a cut that becomes tender with slow cooking, like chuck or stew meat) in a sauce made from dried chiles, garlic, onions, and spices. The result is a savory, spicy stew that can be enjoyed with rice, beans, tortillas, or even on its own.
While Carne con Chile can sometimes take a little longer to prepare in its traditional form, this “easy” version simplifies the process while still keeping all the richness and depth of the original.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef stew meat (chuck roast or another cut of beef that benefits from slow cooking)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
