Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent.
- In a separate pot, bring the beef broth to a boil. Add the dried ancho and guajillo chilies to the boiling broth. Remove from heat and let the chilies steep for 10 minutes.
