CARNE CON CHILE ROJO (CHUCK BRAISED IN CHILE)



Carne con Chile Rojo (Chuck Braised in Chile) image

Claudia Serrato's work studying the history of indigenous Mexican foodways informs her annual holiday tamaladas, where family and friends in her community gather to fill tamales with cacao, vegetables, flowers or bison braised in red chile. The meat is first braised until very tender, then dressed in a purée of smoky chiles and garlic, before it's stuffed into fresh masa. Ms. Serrato makes her own nixtamal with blue corn, soaking it with cal and grinding it in her outdoor kitchen, though you can buy fresh masa or hydrate freshly ground nixtamal if you prefer.

Time 4h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6 (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons maple or raw sugar
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
2 pounds boneless bison or beef chuck roast
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cups vegetable broth
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 medium white onion
10 dried California or New Mexico chiles (2 1/2 ounces)
2 fresh sage sprigs
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
10 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed
4 dried chiles de árbol, stemmed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 medium white onion
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the bison: Heat oven to 275 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the sugar and salt all over the roast. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the roast and sear until dark brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reduce the heat to medium. Carefully add 1 cup broth (the hot fat will spatter) and scrape up all the browned bits from the pan. Return the roast and any accumulated juices to the Dutch oven and add the tomatoes, onion, chiles, sage, bay leaves, syrup and remaining 3 cups broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to the center of the oven.
  • Braise until the meat is very tender, about 3 1/2 hours. A fork should slide through easily. Uncover and cool for 15 minutes, then transfer the roast to a large bowl. Finely shred the meat using your hands if cool enough to handle or with two forks. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve.
  • To make the chile rojo: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add all of the dried chiles, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer steadily until softened and lighter in color, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a blender, along with the garlic, onion, salt and 2 cups of the braising liquid. Save any remaining braising liquid for another use (see Tip). Blend until very smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the chile sauce (it will splatter) and immediately reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring often, until thickened and brick red, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the shredded meat and any accumulated juices and stir to evenly coat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature to use as a filling for tamales. The sauced braised meat can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

SONORAN CARNE CON CHILE



Sonoran Carne con Chile image

While I use venison here, you can use beef, goat, lamb or jackrabbit. It should be a dark meat. Keep in mind that while there is a fair amount of prep here, almost all of it can be done in stages over several days if you want, and once it's all made, you can eat off it for days.

Provided by Hank Shaw

Categories     lunch     Main Course

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 pounds venison neck or shoulder or shank
Salt
1 quart venison or beef stock
4 bay leaves
1 hoja santa leaf ((optional))
1 onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 to 4 dried chiles morita ((or chipotles from a can))
10 to 15 guajillo, New Mexican, California or similar mild, red, dried chile
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 white onion, (cut in quarters)
5 cloves garlic, (unpeeled)
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
2 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste ((smoked salt if you have it))

Steps:

  • Optional smoking step. Salt the venison the night before you plan on smoking it and set in the fridge. The next morning, smoke the meat at 185°F for about three hours. I use mesquite here, but whatever wood you like will do.
  • Braise the Meat. Put all the other ingredients for the meat in a stewpot and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot. You can simmer this on the stovetop or in a 325°F oven.
  • Toast the Chiles. Heat a comal or flattop or large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats up, remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles. Using a metal spatula, toast all the chiles quickly, pressing on them to flatten. They will get pliable quickly. You'll only need about 30 seconds per side, and you can flip them back and forth if you want. Do not let them char or burn. Move them as you go to a large bowl. When they are all toasted, pour boiling water over them to soak.
  • Continuing, you will want to spread the cumin seeds on the hot comal. Let them toast, moving them more or less constantly, until they smell nice, about a minute or two, tops. Move them to a spice grinder and grind to a powder. Can you use ground cumin? Sure, but it won't be as good.
  • Now char the garlic and onion on the comal. Set them down on the hot surface and let them sit there until you get a nice char. You want blackening. Move them around to char on all sides. When they're ready, peel the garlic and roughly chop the onion.
  • Move the rehydrated chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano and a healthy pinch of salt to the blender. Add a little soaking water or some braising liquid and puree. You want the sauce to have the consistency of heavy cream.
  • Optional Step: Push the sauce through a fine-meshed sieve to remove small bits of chile skin and seeds. They are not digestible, and doing this step makes a smoother sauce, and, well, largely prevents the "ring of fire" the following morning...
  • Heat a pot over medium heat and add the lard. When the lard is hot, pour the sauce in and stir, stir, stir until the fat emulsifies. Bring it to a very gentle simmer and keep warm.
  • Once the venison is tender, somewhere between 90 minutes and 3 hours or so -- you'll know when you can pull it apart fairly easily with two forks -- time to serve. I like to pull the meat into largish pieces and put it in the sauce pot to bathe for a few minutes before serving.

CHILE-BRAISED BEEF, TWO WAYS



Chile-Braised Beef, Two Ways image

Birria is a popular dish from the Jalisco region of Mexico, and the inspiration for this smoky chuck-roast rendition. The meat is cooked low and slow in a broth flavored with blistered onion, tomatoes, and guajillo and ancho chiles, then shredded. It's traditionally served as a soup, or tucked into tortillas that have been dipped in the cooking broth and pan-fried until crunchy. This recipe makes enough to have it both ways, and then some.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Soup Recipes

Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds beef-chuck roast, halved
Kosher salt
1 large white onion, halved lengthwise and peeled, plus more, chopped, for serving
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled (10 to 12)
2 dried bay leaves
6 guajillo or puya chiles, stems and seeds removed
2 ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
3 chiles de arból, stems and seeds removed
4 plum tomatoes (about 1 pound total), cored
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves, or 3/4 teaspoon dried
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for serving
Julienned or sliced radishes and diced avocado, for serving (optional)
6-inch corn tortillas, vegetable oil, and hot sauce (if making tacos)

Steps:

  • Place beef in a large pot and season with 1 tablespoon salt. Add 1 onion half, 5 garlic cloves, bay leaves, and enough water to cover meat by 1 inch (8 to 10 cups). Bring to a boil, skimming impurities from surface. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender enough to easily pierce with the tip of a knife, about 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler, with rack 6 to 8 inches below heating element. Arrange chiles on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil with oven door cracked open, turning once, until blistered in places on both sides, fragrant, and beginning to smoke, 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer to a saucepan. Arrange tomatoes and remaining onion half and garlic cloves on baking sheet. Broil, turning a few times, until blistered in places and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to saucepan with chiles; add enough water to just cover vegetables (4 to 5 cups). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid, and transfer to a blender with reserved liquid, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, oregano, and 2 teaspoons salt. Purée until smooth.
  • Transfer beef to a plate and strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids. Return beef to pot with 5 cups broth and puréed-chiles mixture (any remaining broth can be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week, or frozen up to 6 months; if you'll be serving the dish as a soup, reserve and keep warm).
  • Bring beef to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until beef is fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Shred meat into bite-size pieces.
  • To serve as a soup, add reserved warm broth to pot, a little at a time, to reach desired consistency (it should be soupy but still have some body to it). Scatter with chopped onion and cilantro and serve, topped with radishes and avocado, with lime wedges alongside.
  • To make tacos, dip tortillas into chile broth, flipping to fully coat, and transfer to a plate, stacking them one on top of another. Fill each with about 1/3 cup shredded beef and a little more chile broth. Fold in half. Heat a generous slick of oil over medium-high in a large, heavy skillet, such as cast iron. When it shimmers, add tacos in a single layer and cook, flipping once (if browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium) until crisp and golden brown in places, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with chopped onion, cilantro, hot sauce, and lime wedges.

CHILE CON CARNE ROJO, SONORAN STYLE



Chile Con Carne Rojo, Sonoran Style image

This recipe came to me in a cookbook published as a fund-raiser by the faculty of the school where I taught. I've used it for thirty years or so, making so many changes along the way that it is now truly "my" recipe. Enjoy!

Provided by AzArlie

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 lbs beef roast (I find it's usually cheaper to buy a roast and cut it up myself) or 6 lbs stewing beef (I find it's usually cheaper to buy a roast and cut it up myself)
16 ounces red chili paste (sold in Arizona by Santa Cruz Chile, or you can make your own like this one Hatch Red Chili Sauce)
4 -6 bay leaves
1 medium onion, chopped
ground pepper
1 cup flour
1 cup shortening
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic, to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon dried oregano (to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Put the cut-up beef in a dutch oven or similar large kettle, cover with water and boil with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and 3-4 bay leaves. Boil until meat is tender.
  • Remove bay leaves and throw them away. Remove the meat.
  • Pour the liquid into another container. (I use a good-sized plastic pitcher.).
  • Stir the chili paste into the liquid. ( Or use 8 ounces of the paste and 8 ounces of made-from-scratch chile sauce. Or if you have an asbestos tongue, skip the commercial stuff entirely!).
  • Melt shortening in the bottom of the kettle. Add flour and cook until brown, stirring almost constantly.
  • Add 10 cups or so of the beef stock/chile mixture gradually, while stirring. (It's like making gravy.).
  • Reduce heat and add oregano, cumin, more garlic, and salt to taste.
  • Stir in the meat.
  • DO NOT add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, or any other tomato product!
  • Serve with flour tortillas and refried beans. Or make your own burros and serve it that way. Left overs (if any) freeze well.
