Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1½ pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 7-ounce can chopped green chilies with juices
  • 1 medium yellow onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 medium banana peppers seeded and julienned
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cups beef broth

For serving:

  • Warmed gluten-free corn tortillas
  • Crumbled queso fresco cheese
  • Chopped scallions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add stew meat and brown, turning regularly to brown on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add the green chilies, onion, banana peppers, garlic, paprika, and chili powder to the juices in the pot. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef back to the pot and stir in the broth. Cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
