In a large flame-proof casserole or stockpot, heat the oil.

Add the garlic and cook another 1 or 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the chiles and cumin.
7
Cook, stirring, 1 minute then add the pork, mashing and stirring, until the meat browns and begins to separate.
8
Add the beef, oregano, salt and pepper.

Increase heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat loses most of its redness, about 10 - 15 minutes.
10
Add the tomatoes and their liquid, the beer, beef broth and bay leaves.
11
Bring to a boil, partially cover and reduce heat to moderate.

Cook until the beef is very tender and the sauce is reduced to a chili-like consistency, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

In a medium saucepan, heat the beans in the liquid from the cans.
