Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound rump roast, cut into small cubes
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
2 bay leaves
3 ½ cups beef stock
½ (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
3 ounces tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
Directions
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Sauté meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic. Continue to sauté until onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves to pot. Cook and stir until meat and vegetables are coated in seasonings, about 2 minutes. Add stock, enchilada sauce, green chile peppers, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until meat is tender, about 50 minutes.
Stir beans into soup, mashing beans to thicken if desired. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
This recipe is flavorful, but not hot. Increase the cayenne pepper amount to add heat.
I double the recipe and freeze half for camping or an easy dinner for company.
