Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the cubed lean beef with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
  2. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring they are sealed on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Return the beef to the pot. Add the diced green chiles, tomato sauce, beef broth, and both beef and chicken bouillon crystals.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or cayenne if desired. Serve hot.
