Seasoned beef cooks in a smoky tomato-chipotle salsa with garlic, onion, and cilantro. Chiles de árbol add extra heat, or leave them out for a milder version.

Directions

  1. Season the beef. Coat the BEEF CHUCK CROSS RIB with the PAPRIKA, CHILI POWDER, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, CUMIN, OREGANO, SALT, and BLACK PEPPER.
  2. Brown the meat. Fry the seasoned beef in a skillet for 5–8 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate while you prepare the salsa.
  3. Prepare the salsa. Simmer the TOMATOES, ONION, GARLIC, and optional CHILES DE ÁRBOL in water until softened. Drain, then blend with the CHIPOTLE PEPPERS, CILANTRO, and salsa salt and pepper until smooth. Follow your blender’s instructions for handling hot ingredients.
  4. Cook the salsa. Pour the blended salsa into the skillet and fry for 1–2 minutes, stirring. Taste and adjust the salt.
  5. Finish the dish. Return the beef and any collected juices to the salsa. Cook over low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through. Serve hot, with rice and beans if desired.

Adjust the heat: Miranda recommends leaving out the chiles de árbol if you prefer less spice.
