- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 red peppers, seeded and chopped
- 3 pounds lean boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 10 ounces canned tomatillos
- 4 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped

- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 2 stale flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat oil in saucepan and sauté onion, garlic and pepper until onion is soft.
- Add meat and everything else except tortillas. Add more stock if needed

and simmer uncovered until sauce thickens.
