How to Make Beef Green Chili And Tomato Stew

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Pat 2 lbs beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Brown in batches, about 3-4 minutes per batch, transferring the browned beef to a bowl as you go. Set aside.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed, optional), 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (with their juice), 4 oz canned chopped green chilies, 12 oz beer, 2 cups beef broth, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  8. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
