2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoons coriander
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 pounds beef chuck, 2 cm cubes
Kosher salt
Black pepper
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans whole tomatoes, hand crushed
1 chipotle in adobo, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 Stout Beer
100 grams dark chocolate
2 tablespoons Masa Harina
Combine oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin and chili powder in small
bowl. Set aside. Heat a large heavy bottomed casserole over medium
heat; add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Cook until the onions
are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Pat the beef dry
and season it with salt and pepper. Add it to the pot and cook, stirring
frequently, until it has browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2
tablespoons of the spice mix, the garlic, chipotle, tomatoes, beer,
cinnamon stick, sugar and cocoa. Season with salt and stir well.
Return to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
Stir in the masa harina, and cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, to
thicken
