Once softened, blend chillies and broth until smooth, reserve. In a large mixing bowl, toss the beef with olive oil, salt, and pepper. In a large Dutch oven on medium-high heat, sear off the meat on all sides. Remove from pot and reserve. Add in the onions, poblano peppers and crushed garlic, stir to combine and sauté until the vegetables are translucent. (About 3 minutes) add in the cinnamon, cumin, allspice and oregano. Add the beef back into the pot and the pureed chilli broth. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and braise in the oven until the beef is fork-tender (about 1-2 hours). Reserve meat and liquid
Texas red chilli
- In a Dutch oven on medium-high heat, brown off the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Add in the poblano peppers and onion and stir to combine. Sauté the vegetables until slightly softened (about 2 minutes). Season with the smoked paprika and add the canned tomato, chillies, and kidney beans. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes. Add in the braised beef and braising sauce. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and allow the chilli to reduce, becoming thick and flavourful.
