Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 4 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded

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.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened chilies to a blender. Add 1 cup of the steeping liquid and blend until smooth.
- Pour the chili puree over the browned beef in the skillet. Add the cumin, oregano, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
