CHILE VERDE (BEEF OR PORK)



Chile Verde (Beef or Pork) image

One of my favorite dishes. Serve with Recipe #17126 and refried beans. My husband commented that this recipe isn't as "green" as some he gets in a Mexican restaurant. If you want more green, use tomatillos. I just happen to like this just the way it is!

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN PORK CHILE VERDE

Make and share this Authentic Mexican Pork Chile Verde recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Love to Eat

Categories     Pork

Time 3h30m

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure chile powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 -5 lbs pork shoulder, bone in, trimmed of excess surface fat
8 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chilies (with liquid)
4 medium garlic cloves
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3/4 cup dark Mexican beer
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups white rice, steamed
1 cup sour cream
1 lime, cut into eighths

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl mix the salt, chili powder, oregano, granulated garlic, and cumin. Coat the pork on all sides with the rub, massaging the spices into the meat. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 before browning.
  • In a food processor or blender, purée the tomatillos, canned chiles, garlic, onion, oregano, and beer.
  • Brown the roast on a roasting pan for 30 minutes in the oven.
  • Remove the pork from the oven and reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Place the pork in a 13x9-inch heavy-duty disposable drip pan. Pour the tomatillo mixture around the pork so it comes up the sides of the pork by 1 inch or so. Seal the pan tightly with foil, and place the pan in the center of the oven. Cook the pork until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 190°F and the meat is so tender that it tears easily with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
  • When the pork is fully cooked, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Unwrap the pork (be careful of the steam) and transfer it to a cutting board. Chop the pork into 1/2-inch chunks and shreds, discarding any large pieces of fat or tough pieces of meat. Pour the pan liquid into a large saucepan and spoon off most of the surface fat. Add the shredded meat and simmer the mixture uncovered for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Season with the cilantro, Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The chile verde may be made up to this point 1 day ahead of serving and refrigerated overnight. Warm the chile verde over a slow simmer before serving.
  • Serve the chile verde warm in bowls with steamed rice. Pass the sour cream, limes wedges, and a bottle of Tabasco.

  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before braising helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, but you can also add other vegetables such as corn, carrots, or potatoes.

  • Simmer for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the chile verde, the more tender the meat will become.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chile verde can be served with rice, beans, tortillas, or bread.
