We make this Chile Colorado for my Mexican husband, who also doesn’t like tomatoes in his chile. This is a traditional Mexican-style dish. If you decide to add beans, do it after the chile is finished. Serve with chopped onion, sliced green onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
Ingredients
- 9 New Mexico dry chiles – washed, with stems and seeds removed
- 3 cups water
- 5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups beef stock, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Place chiles and 3 cups water into a medium stockpot, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes to soften.
Step 3
Strain into a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid.
Step 4
Place chiles and some of the liquid into a blender, and pur?e until smooth. Add more liquid as necessary to form a smooth sauce.
Step 5
Pass sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or tough skins; set aside.
Step 6
Cut beef into 1- to 2-inch chunks. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Dredge beef chunks in the seasoned flour; set aside.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saut? onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Add beef chunks a few at a time, so as not to overcrowd the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Remove seared meat, and continue browning the remaining meat. Return reserved seared meat to the pot.
Step 9
Stir in pur?ed chile mixture. Add beef stock just to cover beef chunks, or to personal preference. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to lowest setting, and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat is tender. If necessary, adjust with more stock during cooking.
Tips
Water can be substituted for beef stock if desired.

I’m not a huge fan of tomato based dishes, nor do I care for beans in chili. I was looking for an authentic yet easy version of Chile Colorado (my 2nd favorite to Chile Verde) and this recipe is it! It’s truly an authentic dish like you would get a Mexican restaurant. Making the chili “sauce” was really neat – taking dried chilis and turning it into a suace. I actually pureed the chilis in the “soaking” water, making a “sauce” about the consistency of a thick “cream of chicken” soup. I too cut back a little on the beef broth, as I want a really thick sauce. I just took a sneak taste of the sauce – incredible! Thanks for posting the recipe! I know this will be something I will make many more times!

Excellent. I ahve made it twice with similar results. I have used the pre-cut stew meat from Costco (about $15 for 6 pounds). I could not find New Mexico Chiles in California, so I used a 3 oz. bag of California dried Chiles and 3 Guajillo dried pods for heat. I used a 32 oz beef stock box from Trader Joes, 2 onions, and I added all the water from the steeping into the blender. After 3 hours of simmering, the liquid reduces by about half and it is phenomonal. Many Thanks…….

Awesome, authentic recipe! We made this for company last night and it was a huge success! The only changes we made were adding a few more seasonings to the sauce: garlic, thyme, salt, cumin, etc. But overall, we were very impressed with this recipe and will make it many more times in the future. Thanks!

Great chili recipe – especially for low carbers. I used stew meat, didn’t dredge it in flour or brown it, and threw it into the crock pot with the pureed chili’s and all of the soaking liquid. I added a little garlic and cumin. Served with black beans on the side for those that wanted along with cheese, sour cream, and some chopped raw onion. Definetely will make again.

I wasn’t impressed by this dish, I had high hopes with the good reviews. Maybe my changes were to blame? My only changes were, I used stew meat and cooked it in the crock pot. I did brown it first though! By itself, it wasn’t too appealing, however, we did doctor them up for some tacos. So it wasn’t completely a bust.

This is the second time I’ve made it. This time I used cubed beef stew meat and cut it up some into smaller pieces, but still much easier. I could only find a few decent chile peppers this time around, so it ended up tasting more like carne guisada instead of chile rojo. With the right size chiles, excellent and spicy!!

I have never made Chile Colorado until today. It is simmering right now. I love the flavor. I also used 3 guajillo pods along with the new mexico chiles. The only thing I can add is DO NOT FORGET to do the step where you pass the puree through a fine mesh strainer. I almost didn’t do it because it looked smooth, but it wasn’t. I did it after I realized the chili skin wasn’t blended. Now it tastes awesome. Great recipe, I will make this again, thank you.

Helena,
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! I made it yesterday and we all loved it! I will definitely make again. It does take some effort but it is well worth it. I added it to bean and cheese burritos! I added cumin, mexican oregano, garlic, thyme, chili powder and a bay leaf for the first hour of cooking. It reminded me of Tito’s Tacos in Los Angeles and the meat they use. Very well done!

I did something wrong here. The directions said to DREDGE the meat in flour, which to me means to coat it on all sides. You simply cannot dredge 5 pounds of cubed roast in 1/2 cup of flour, so I used as much flour as it took to dredge all the meat. BIG BIG MISTAKE, don’t do it. I ended up with, instead of sauce, a nasty red paste covering the meat. I will try it again soon, but this time I will only SPRINKLE a 1/2 cup of flour over the 5 pounds of cut up meat!!! It will be more like a seasoning than a dredging. I bet it will be terrific, because I LOVE chile colorado!

This sounds a little bit like a recipe that I have been looking for. My husband’s brother showed me how to make it, but he called it “caldo rojo.” It’s not exactly the same, but I can’t really remember exactly how to make it. Do you have any tips? I would ask him, but he has gone back to Mexico, and my poor husband is not the cook of the family. If anyone can give me any advice, I’d really like to have some! Thanks!

Delious, Spicey & Savory ! I LOVE it I also like the process, a labor of love. Well worth the time to make. I dusted the meat with Wondra, I am sure I didn’t use a half cup, I also added some beer to the sause. This is one of my all time favs to order out now I can have it at home. Hats off to to the person who submitted this recipe and Thank You !

My husband’s favorite dish to order at Mexican Restaurants is Chile Colorado. Now, with this recipe we can make it just like at the restaurant, but for a lot less money. We used dried California Chilies, which seemed to work very well. Great recipe! Make sure to allow time for the beef to cook and become very tender.

Really great recipe for authentic Mexican red chile…To make it perfect for me I added/changed as follows: 2 pounds cubed meat (I know, it’s a lot less) 4 c total water for recipe, all of which I add to puree with the chiles, add 1 1/2T cumin, 1T chile powder, 1T crushed red pepper, 1t Mexican oregano, 1/4t thyme, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Use remainder of flour to thicken, sauce should be slightly thick and gravy-like when done. Thanks for a super recipe…

This is a great recipe, just what I was looking for. Easy and Tasty. The only changes I made was not using the flour, I didn?t feel it was needed. The chili broth will thicken while cooking with the lid removed. I did add Garlic to the onions and some oregano to the chili puree. This is a definite keeper.

Thank you so much for publishing this recipe – I made it today for a family birthday and it went down a treat. Thanks to Jen Z for the serving suggestion – Limes, Cilantro, Onion and Corn tortillas were perfect. The flavor of the beef was fantastic and worth every minute of the prep time.

spectacular!
my husband’s from Salinas, a farming city in CA and he LOVES Mexican food, the more authentic the better. We can’t get it here in CT so it’s up to me.
This recipe is a bit of work but it is worth every minute of the effort. I have a huge batch cooking now. I’ll freeze it in portions so we have this for a while.
My small changes are that I puree a large fresh tomato, 3 cloves of garlic with the chilis. Then add a bay leaf and small pinch of Mexican oregano to the sauce for the first couple of hours of cooking.
Also I sprinkle the flour, pepper & salt on the meat…not much…just enough to make a light coating so it browns nicely.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. 🙂

This recipe ROCKS! I kept thinking as I was browning little pieces of meat, that this had better be worth it!! Then I was also thinking that I’d add cumin & garlic towards the end of cooking… but it smelled and looked soooo good that I didn’t want to risk ruining it (and I add cumin to EVERYTHING) I just made it as is and I will never make it any other way. My husband LOVED this! Thanks so much for an awesome recipe!!!

Excellent!! We couldn’t stop tasting it while it was simmering it was so good. I followed the original recipe and added all of the other ingredients suggested in the comments. Next time I will use stew meat instead because cutting and trimming the meat was very time consuming.
Thank you for the best Chile Colorado I’ve had since moving away from our favorite restaurant 15 years ago. -

Best thing I ever prepared, according to friends. I had some trouble with the straining, so probably didn’t get as much of the chiles as I should have. Also only let it cook for 2 hours, so the sauce wasn’t as thick as it should’ve been. Even with those mistakes, it still came out superb.

This chile had excellent flavor but is definitely a labor of love. Next time I will buy the meat already cut up to save some time, and possibly leave out the flour?? maybe… I gave this recipe 4 stars only because I found it nearly impossible to brown the meat in the simmering pot. I ended up browning the meat in a skillet. With that said I’d still make it again just with a few small changes in mind.

This recipe was really good. I grew up eating Chile Colorado and am happy to have found this recipe. The interesting thing is Chile Colorado is supposed to be meat with a red sauce, a traditional Hispanic dish. It isn’t supposed to be made with beans thrown in it as a typical chili (not chile) would have so I am confused when people add beans to this dish. i come from a Hispanic family and they have all made it with the meat and red sauce. Anyhow, this recipe is perfect. I made it with pork roast instead, which I cut up. I also couldn’t find any New Mexico chiles so used California chiles and added some New Mexico chile powder, about 1 tsp, to the sauce mixture. Since I used pork, I used chicken broth, 2 cups, to the pot. Served with rice, beans and tortillas. It was fabulous.

If I could give it 10 stars I would!!! I did add alittle more salt to it and thickened it up a tad at the end with some corn starch… and it was SO GOOD! My family loves Chile Colorado! and my mom always made it when I was a kid, but it was with a Chili mix, it was good, but I wanted to try something more authentic.. I made it for my dad for fathers day and he LOVED IT! Super authentic! makes you feel like you are eating a mexican resturant! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

I sought out this recipe after enjoying Chile Colorado at a local Mexican place. Great base recipe. Suggestions: – Use scissors to snip the tops off the chiles, then cut a seam lengthwise on the pepper. This makes it easy to open the pepper and pull out the seeds. – Use a stick blender to puree the chiles directly in the pot you re-hydrated them in. Much easier than transferring to a pitcher blender. One addition to try – 1 can tomato paste and 1-2 tsp sugar to chile puree after straining. Garlic powder, oregano, and cumin can be added to the seasoned flour as well.

Amazing! We didn’t change anything and it was perfect! Only thing I would do differnt next time is make it a day before so the flavors can develope a little more. I served it over rice, and had beans as a side dish. For those who can’t find New Mexico Chiles in California, I found mine in “Hispanic Foods” aisle at WinCo. =0)

I like to follow recipes just as they are..so I made this one and according to my husband he said it was Super Delish!! I love mexican food, so im picky on it having an authentic taste, to me it was Good and definately worth making however I will keep this recipe until i find a more authentic one. Dont be discourage Its an easy recipe to follow I just like to try new ones. This was my first time doing this dish but like i said I love mexican food so I eat a lot of mexican food, even though im not mexican ; ) but hubby is! One more thing make sure you do this with enough time as it will take a long time for it to be done. Provecho!

Good basic recipe. Gets people onto working with dried chilies. I used guajillos, only thing handy. I would blend a few other varieties in next time, just watch the heat factor. Agree with scuba steve, adjustments are fun! I also added dried oregano, cumin, and fresh garlic…mmm. Also added some fresh celery and carrots with the onions! (mirepoix) What the heck, I’m a cook! good eating! I use a chinois for sieving the chile puree. does NOT taste like beef stew!

Great recipe. I made it for my hubby and in laws who came to visit and boy did they love it. My father in law who is a light eater, had 2 plates! I wasn’t able to remove the skin after puree and it still came out good. It was a bit bland for my taste so I added a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of ground cumin. About 10 mins prior to serving, I added cilantro. I served it with sour cream, tapatio and chopped green onions. Delish!

Had this a lot in New Mexico with Pork. One place I loved and quite famous can’t remember the name outside of Santa Fe. They would serve it with fried shredded hash browns, the saucy meat rolled inside a flour tortilla and topped with sour cream and some extra sauce. Delicious! We love this recipe TY

If I could I would rate this a 10! I read the reviews and thought I would try it. I was not expecting it to be so wonderful!!! I made it for our Super Bowl Party….it was the first thing gone and I now need to give out the recipe….Hmmm…I think I may have to keep it my “little” secret. : )
I made just as the recipe reads. -

Amazing!! I did make some tweaks tho. Used Guajillo Chili Peppers instead. Added Cumin seeds, cumin powder, smoked Paprika, mexican orgeno and minced garlic. Served over white rice seasoned with toasted cumin seeds. Just the right amount of heat. Will make again and again. Might try pork too next time.

Awesome!! I love Chile Colorado and wanted to cook it myself, and this one turned out just wonderful!
I actually did find New Mexico chiles at my local VONS, and they had a wonderful flavor to them.
My only changes in this recipe was that I used pork instead of beef, since this is how I’ve had Chile Colorado in the past and I love it, and since I used pork I also used chicken stock rather than beef, just to match the flavors better.I also followed scuba_steve’s advice and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon, cayenne and cumin, the extra spice was a wonderful addition.
I just know this will become one of my favorite recipes, I will definitely make this one again.
I served it with sour cream & cheddar on top, and we also had tortillas with it, it just completes the meal 🙂

Im Mexican and I am very picky when it comes to hispanic food. my boyfriend and his dad love mex food (they are white AHAHA) and they loved this recipe. I started cooking 2 years ago when I was 20 and always looking for great easy recipes.I added some extra seasoning called Jezebel to it and also some chiles de arbol because they like it hot and some chopped red potatoes . I loved this dish and love that youdont need many ingredients.
also took the tiny bit of leftovers for my dad to try who is from mexico and always tells it like it his. He said it was good =-)

Wow… I have this simmering right now and I can’t stop tasting the sauce. Very very good. I used pork and had the butcher at the market cube it for me. I read the other reviews which suggested a little more spice, so with the onions, I added a green bell pepper and to the chiles I added 3 small dried de arbol peppers and blended them all together to give the sauce a little kick. I also added garlic and cumin. Amazing. I will definately make this again !

This recipe rocks! It is extraordinary. I will never go back to chil”i” recipes.
First, I used pork. Butt to be exact.
Second, I browned the dredged pieces as I always do–on my two burner pancake griddle–they are well separated and truly brown, they do not release juices and steam. I do this for all stews. Works every time.
Third, not having New Mexican chiles I sub’ed Guajillo chiles and some Anchos. Both hotter varieties but not crazy hot. I buy them from Penzeys and they were wonderful. A great heat that did not mask the depth of the pepper flavor.
Fourth, I love beans so I added pintos at the end.
Fifth, I added garlic but nothing else. I think oregano or cumin would ruin the straight up chile flavor. Note–I wrote chilE, not chili. There is a big difference there! And it is the essence of this recipe.
Last, I saw a recipe like this one which added a TB of vinegar and a TB or two of sugar. I did this and it deepened all the flavors.
This dish is extremely good and not much work. Make it the night before.

I thought the recepie was missing something when I checked out the ingredients so I read the reviews and found what I felt was missing, the Mexican spices. I added oregano, a bit of cumin and yes garlic, I took it a step further and added green bell pepper. I will be making this for sure my family LOVED IT!!!

This was amazing! But, I added my own flare to it and followed a little of other reviewers suggesions. I seared the meat, dunked in flour (salt/pepper/garlic salt mix) on all sides, I then cut up a medium onion and lined the bottom of the crock pot with the onion… sprinkled garlic powder, ground cinnamon and cumin on top of the onion, then added the seared beef. I steamed the chilles til tender, removed the stems and rinced the seeds with luke water (no need to strain the chilles) then added them in a blender with the reserved chille water and beef stock from a can. This is where the EXTRA flare camer in… I roasted three small red bell peppers, 5 small roma tomatoes and one jalapeno… deseeded the peppers and blended everything together for the sauce. Poured over the beef and cooked on high for 4.5 hours. The beef was a melt in your mouth with shredded cheddar and sour cream for the finishing touches. Yummm!

I made a few additions: I added 5 cloves of garlic and may add some more next time. I omitted the onions as I don’t eat them. I added 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander & 1/2 tsp cayenne. I might mix the chiles next time and add a guajillo to make it a little spicy. A good starter recipe. I cooked it all in a dutch oven and it turned out beautiful.

There is a restaurant in our town that has chile colorado on the menu and it is my absolute favorite! I was craving it one day and decided I wanted to see if I could make something similar so I went looking for a recipe when I came across this one. I’m so thrilled to have tried it, it was exactly what I was looking for! This is just as good as the restaurant if not better.

I rated it a 4 because I needed to jazz it up a bit. I added 4 garlic gloves, 1tsp cumin & 1 tsp corriander. At the end I thickened up the sauce with 2 tsp corn starch. My hubby loved it. Also, brown the meat and then saute the onions so that you can pick up the drippings in the onions. If it would not have been so bland to begin with it would have received 5 stars. Now with the adjustments I made its perfect.

This was a great recipe. I moved from CA to WI 5 years ago, only to find out that the Mexican restaurants here don’t have two things that I love..chili colorado and Sunday brunch. I wanted a bit more flavor, so I added 1 tsp of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and chili powder. This is as good as the chili colorado in my favorite mexican restaurant in CA, but it’s not quite as hot. If you like your chili colorado with a bit more heat, substitute some or all of the dried chilis with something with more kick. I did depart from the general preparation a little. after I sauteed the onions, I put them in the blender with the chili puree and pureed them in. The sauce did come out a little thinner than I wanted it, so I added 1/4 cup cold water with 2 tbsp corn starch and that made it the perfect consistency.
To those who have commented that it came out like beef stew..you either have a strange idea of stew is or you did it wrong.

This was my first attempt at making my beloved Chile Colorado. Unfortunately, while my husband liked it, I was a bit disappointed in the outcome. I followed the recipe exactly but found the flour made the sauce rather pasty and detracted from the flavor. I used just regular “New Mexico dried chiles”, but think this needs the ones that specifically say “hot” and maybe some seasoning changes. Thank you for a good starting point on working with dried chiles!

Good and so easy. I left out the onions and skipped browning the meat and just threw everything in the slow cooker. When I came home I strained out the extra water and added salt, cumin, a little flour to thicken it and tomato paste for some sweetness. My boyfriend LOVED it. Served with Mexican rice and refried beans on the side.

Love, love, love this recipe and so does my family! The only thing I do differently is add a little crushed red pepper since we like it with a little more fire. I also use a mixed assortment of dried chili’s depending on what I’m feeling…Chili Negro, Chili California besides the New Mexico. 🙂

Excellent Recipe. I Read a review from someone who said it didn’t taste like chili colorado ( then you don’t know what chili colorado taste like 🙂 ). It taste exactly as it should. I did change the recipe per my preference. First i used “Smoked chilies” that i smoke myself every year. Then i smoked it with an open dutch over for about 2 hours on my pellet smoker. I then finished it inside with a closed lid. Each person is going to like different consistency in thier chili colorado. For me it was too thin. So at the end i just made a roux and added it to the pot for the perfect consistency. My wife is very picky and doesn’t like a lot of mexican food i like and she absolutely loved this so i will be making it again. Thanks for the recipe

I have never had Chile Colorado, but I was looking for something to do with my extra beef stew meat. Wow, this was delicious! For being such a simple dish with so few ingredients, I was afraid it would not have enough flavor, but it was perfect. I may try it in the crock pot next time, We will definitely be making this again and again! It would make a perfect cold day meal.

I had made this once before, but forgot all about it until my daughter begged me to make it again. The package of chilies I bought had 12, so I used them all- Just makes extra sauce, which is fine because I use my leftovers as base for an awesome pot of Chili. After browning the meat, I put all the ingredients in my crock pot on low. The meat was perfectly tender after 5 hours.Toward the end, the mix was tasting a bit bland, so I added about 1 tsp. of sea salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 tbls Mrs. Dash southwest blend. I also stirred in a handful or two of semi-sweet chocolate chips (my family likes just a touch of that mole’ flavor)

Turned out great! I made a few changes like the previous reviewers. I didn’t want to make quite a big batch so I used 3 lbs stew meat, sort of small chunks, 5 New Mexico dried chile pods, 3 Guajillo dried pods, 2 T chopped garlic, half an onion chopped and saut?ed, 1 t oregano, 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/2 t cumin. I still used the entire 3 c water to steep the chiles in and used a blender to pur?e all of it, seeds and skin. Worked fine. No stems though! I deglazed the pan from the meat and onion with a bit of the beef broth first then added the chile sauce and beef and then added the rest of the broth until it covered the beef by a good inch. I think I ended up using about 3 c broth by the end of it. I salted and peppered at each step, but I couldn’t tell you how much. I was pretty liberal though. I brought the covered pot to a boil, then placed it in a preheated 325 degree oven for an hour, stirred it, checked the meat for tenderness. My meat took two hours. The house smelled amazing! We ended up calling it “‘Julio Child’s’ Mexican Boeuf Bourgignon”
