Recipe by stimied

A mexican style beef stew. You can also serve this over rice or noodles, but I prefer it on tortillas like a burrito. This doubles and freezes well.

DIRECTIONS

Brown beef well in a large cast iron dutch oven, a heavy stainless steel pot can be used with good results.
Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent.
Add stock, chili powder, comino, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender.
In a separate skillet mix flour and oil together to form a roux.
Cook over medium high heat until a dark beige color, about 5 minutes.
Be careful not to let it burn.
Carefully add roux to stewed beef.
Be very careful because it can splatter.
Bring back to a simmer and thicken, simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve like a soft taco on flour tortillas with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, shredded cheese and sour cream for garnish.
