How to Make Authentic New Mexico Green Chile Stew

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the green chiles, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Add the beef chuck, bay leaves, and salt. Continue to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender. Skimming off any excess fat as needed.
  6. Stir in the corn and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, chili powder, or cumin to taste.
