What you need:

  • 2 lbs lean beef chuck roast (I used a fully trimmed, lean chuck roast)
  • 4 dried guajillo chili pepper
  • 4 dried pasilla chile peppers
  • 1 dried ancho chile pepper
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar

Step 1 Remove the stem from the dried chiles. Cut open with scissors and remove the seeds and veins. In a cast iron skillet or comal, toast the dried chili peppers and garlic cloves over medium high heat until pliable and beginning to brown, about 30-60 seconds per side. They are ready to flip when they are fragrant and have small bubbles.
