How to Make Beef In A Red Chili Sauce

  1. Cube 1.5 lbs beef chuck into 1-inch pieces. Dust with 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Chop 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper. Keep 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes separate. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  5. Add the beef in 3 batches, browning on all sides until deeply golden brown. Remove beef and set aside.
  6. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
  8. Add 1 cup beef broth and reduce heat to a simmer.
  9. Simmer until most of the liquid is gone, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Add another 1 cup beef broth, the canned diced tomatoes, and reduce heat again until there is enough liquid to mix in the flour (about 5 minutes).
  11. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Add to the pot and whisk until smooth and thickened.
  12. Add the remaining 1 cup beef broth and stir until a gravy consistency is achieved.
  13. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite red chili sauce and mix well.
  14. Add the browned beef back to the pot, mix well to combine.
  15. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
