Ancho Chile Con Carne

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1 3/4 cups Kitchen Basics® Beef Stock
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Oregano Leaves, Mexican
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Cumin, Ground
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium red bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Garlic Powder
2 tablespoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Chile Pepper, Ancho
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Chile Pepper, Chipotle
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour

Directions

1. Trim excess fat from beef. Cut beef into 5 or 6 large pieces. Place in 4-quart saucepan with stock, oregano and cumin; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Remove beef and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Reserve stock and skim off excess fat.

2. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic powder; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until just tender. Add cooked beef, ancho and chipotle chile peppers, and salt; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes longer.

3. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of the reserved stock (including the herbed residue), stirring until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes to blend flavors.

4. Serve with warmed flour tortillas, refried beans or cooked rice, if desired.
