  • 1 1/2 lb beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Generously season stew meat with salt and pepper on all sides.

  • Step 2

    Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Once oil is hot, working in batches, brown meat until caramelized on both sides, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove meat from pot to drain a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    Drain excess fat from pot, reserving 2 tablespoons. Add onion, poblano pepper, garlic, ground cumin, and ground oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  • Step 4

    Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in Tomato Love 2x More Chilies and bring to a low boil.

  • Step 5

    Return meat back into pot along with beef stock and potato. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 hours, until meat and potatoes are tender.

  • Step 6

    Remove from heat. Stir in fresh lime juice. Serve with desired toppings and tortillas.
