Mexican Style Beef In Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the beef, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until meat is evenly browned.
• While the meat is cooking, stir together the lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro and green onion. When the meat is browned, stir in the cilantro mixture and oregano. Pour in the salsa, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through.

Steps:

• Heat oil.
• Add beef; season as desired.
• Brown all sides.
• Add sauce and salsa; mix well.
• Simmer 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
• **serve over rice, or like myself, with warm corn or flour tortillas, garnished as you would a taco.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toast the guajillo chiles, california chiles, and chiles de arbol on the grill until they are charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool, then remove the stems and seeds and cut them in half. Put aside 6 guajillo halves. Soak the rest of the chiles in water, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the coriander, cumin, oregano, peppercorns, allspice, ginger, cloves, bay leaves, garlic and onion to a blender, and add enough of the soaked chiles to come about halfway up the blender cup. Add 1/2 cup of the chile soaking liquid and 1 cup water and process until very well blended and runny. Transfer to a large bowl. Blend the remaining soaked chiles with more water as needed.
• Heat 1/2 cup canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then add the blended chile sauce and cook until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Bring 1/2 gallon of water to a boil in a large pot.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the beef shanks on both sides with a pinch of salt. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in a large, heavy skillet over very-high heat, then sear the beef shanks until a golden crust is formed, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the seared shanks to the pot of boiling water, then add the sauce and reserved 6 chile halves. Add the remaining 1/2 cup kosher salt to the mixture and boil over medium heat, uncovered, until the sauce reduces, 20 to 30 minutes. Cover and simmer over low heat until the meat is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Taste the sauce and add salt as needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325*. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides and remove.
• Add the onion to the pot and cook until light golden in colour.
• Add the garlic, green pepper, jalapeno, chili powder and cumin seed. Stir constantly and cook for one minute.
• Add the oregano, beef broth, beer, worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Stir until combined.
• Return the beef back to the pan. Cover and bake @ 325* for three hours, turning the beef three times.
• When the beef is very tender, remove to a plate and tent with foil.
• Reduce the liquid on top of the stove by 1/3. Season with more chili powder, (to your taste) if desired.
• Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
• Carve the beef, placing on a shallow platter. Pour sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a deep skillet over high heat. Pan-fry each tortilla turning frequently, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Allow to drain on paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• To assemble each pizza, place 4 fried tortillas on a baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans evenly on top of every other tortilla, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons ground beef. Place the other 4 tortillas on top.
• Mix together the taco sauce and enchilada sauce in a small bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture on top of the tortillas and spread evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup of each type of cheese evenly on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and any additional garnishes. Cut into quarters, and serve immediately.
