and Pepper Sauce - Guatemala)

Ingredients

• 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
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 cloves

• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 2 stale flour tortillas
  

Instructions

1. Heat oil in saucepan and sauté onion, garlic and pepper until onion is soft.
2. Add meat and everything else except tortillas. Add more stock if needed so liquid barely covers meat. Cover, simmer gently 2 hours until beef is tender.
3. Soak tortillas in water, squeeze them out and crumble. Add to casserole and simmer uncovered until sauce thickens.
4. Serve with Arroz Guatemalteco.
