SHREDDED GREEN CHILE BEEF
This Tex-Mex pulled beef roast is tender, slightly spicy, juicy, and so delicious served over mashed potatoes or rice. The beef also makes the best soft tacos you've ever had. Save any leftover pulled beef in the liquid to prevent it from drying out. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Steps:
- Remove seeds from ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles and place in a medium bowl. Pour in 3 cups boiling water and cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; let sit until chiles are softened, 20-25 minutes. Transfer chiles and soaking liquid to a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Season beef all over with salt and pepper. Working in 2-3 batches, cook, turning pieces once, until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium; add onions and garlic to pot. Cook, stirring often to loosen browned bits from bottom of pot, until onions are translucent and very soft, 6-8 minutes. Add cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, until spices start to stick to pot, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and brown sugar and scrape bottom of pot to loosen spices, then add lager. Bring to a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until beer is almost completely evaporated, 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut beef into 1/2" pieces, discarding any large bits of fat or gristle.
- Add beef, reserved chile purée, and 2 cups water to pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, uncovered, until liquid is thickened and meat is very tender, 1 1/2-2 hours. Taste chili and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Divide chili among bowls and top as desired.
- Do Ahead
- Chili can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat gently over low, stirring occasionally, and adding a splash of water to loosen if needed.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef chuck roast or stew meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Brown the beef in batches to ensure even cooking and a flavorful sear.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika, to create a rich and flavorful broth.
- Simmer the soup for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
- Add a variety of vegetables, such as green chilies, onions, peppers, and corn, for a hearty and flavorful soup.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and cilantro, to add extra flavor and texture.
