Carne con Chile is a hearty and flavorful Mexican dish made with beef, chili sauce, and spices. There are many variations, but here is a traditional recipe:

Ingredients:

    1 pound beef stew meat

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1 medium onion, chopped

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    1 teaspoon ground cumin

    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

    1 (15 oz) can chili sauce (you can use mild, medium, or hot chili sauce)

    1 cup beef broth

    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

    Brown the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

    Sauté the vegetables: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

    Add the spices: Stir in the cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    Add the chili sauce and beef broth: Add the chili sauce and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.

Serve: Serve the carne con chile hot with rice, beans, tortillas, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.

Tips:

    For a spicier dish, add fresh chilies as well.

    Carne con chile can be frozen. Let it cool completely before freezing.

Enjoy!
