    Description

    This easy beef stew recipe with corn and potatoes is all about the chile flavor. New Mexico red chile powder is sweeter and richer than regular chili powder, either will work here.

    Directions

    1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add half the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the meat is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and beef.
    2. Return the first batch of beef to the pot and add garlic; cook, stirring, until it just starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add water, broth, chile powder, cumin and oregano; stir well to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender, about 1 hour.
    3. Stir in potatoes and corn; return to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
    4. Serve the chili topped with cabbage, radishes, onion and cilantro, and with flour tortillas, if desired.

    Tips

    • To make ahead: Refrigerate chili for up to 5 days.
