INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lb Chuck Roast cut into 1/2” cubes.
4-5 nice hefty Short ribs well seasoned with Johnnies Seasoning salt or equivalent. Or you can just salt and Pepper.
1 1/2 c Beef Broth (Perfect use for leftover Pot Roast juice, in my case I used frozen Braised Short rib juice).
1 Onion chopped.
1/2 c dehydrated peppers (Or 1 green pepper and 1 red Bell)
6 cloves Garlic.
1 Aneheim and or 5 sweet mini Peppers.
1/2- 1 Serrano or Jalapeño chopped fine.
2 -3 Tbsp Chili Powder ( 2 to start).
3 Tbsp Cumin.
1 tsp Oregano
1/4 c Tomato Powder. … or 1/2 c Tomato Paste.
1 tsp Salt.
1 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp EVOO

GARNISH:
Scallions,
Cheese.
Sour Cream

DIRECTIONS:
Set the Oven to 325° You will turn it down to 300° after an hour…. Or be prepared to cook stove top.
For Stove top cooking you will just turn this to Simmer lowest setting and let it cook for 2-3 hours. Stirring occasionally.

To save time, I use a Cuisinart food processor to mince the Garlic first and then add rough chopped Onion and Peppers.

Have a 2.5 qt Dutch Oven ready to use. Use a frying pan on Medium HI, add EVOO and sear the Ribs until brown on all sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside when they are Brown.
This is where you can use the Dutch Oven, but it’s easier to just brown all Meat in the Frying Pan so that is what I do, so add the Chuck to the Frying Pan in and sear that up until brown. Preheat the Dutch oven to Med Hi while the Chuck finishes cooking Pour the Browned Chuck into the Dutch Oven. Add Onion, Garlic and Fresh Peppers. Sauté for a minute and toss in the rest of the ingredients except for the tomato powder or paste.
Nestle the Ribs down into the mixture.
Now add the Tomato Powder or Paste to the top and very lightly stir it under the surface just to get it added so it’s not laying on top.
Put the lid on and set the Dutch oven on the bottom rack of the Breville or Oven and let it cook for 1 hour and then turn the Oven down to 300° to finish cooking for the rest of the time. At 2 hrs, check for doneness. You may want to go the full 3 hrs.
If it’s a bit thin for your taste when it’s done, then just turn the pot off and back on to Sauté, and reduce it down for a few min.

Serve with grated Cheese, Scallions, and Sour Cream.

This was an IP batch, (but you still sear the meat and add the veggies)
