I love this recipe. It is easy to put together and cooks while you are away. This recipe is a combination of several recipes I have used over the years. Serve this with either flour or corn tortillas for a wonderful meal. The heat depends on the heat of the chiles. I use long green mild chiles from Hatch, NM.
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean boneless beef stew meat
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 medium onion, chopped
8 large green chilies, roasted, peeled and chopped
3 medium potatoes, diced in 1 inch cubes
1 cup water
1 -2 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced (optional)
1/3 cup cilantro
salt
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients, except for cilantro and jalapeno peppers, in a 6 quart crock pot.
2. I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and skin left on.
3. Stir to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
4. Cover, turn on low and cook for approximately 5 to 6 hours or until meat and potatoes are almost tender.
5. Add chopped cilantro, and if more heat is desired, the jalapeno peppers.
6. Continue cooking an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Serve hot with tortillas of your choice.
8. This is wonderful warmed over the next day.
