This hearty Green Chile Stew is made with tender chunks of beef, potatoes, and green chilies in a rich, spicy and smoky-flavored broth, An absolutely delicious dish that can be served over rice, mashed potatoes, or with hot cornbread.
This delicious recipe is a tasty, Tex-Mex twist on traditional beef stew that I love to make for family and friends. I’ve lived in Texas for several years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you can’t have too many peppers. Whether, jalapeno, banana, chile, or something else, peppers just make everything better.
Green Chile Stew
This hearty stew starts with top sirloin chunks that are coated in seasoned flour and browned in a Dutch oven. I add a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, diced green chiles, and green chile enchilada sauce for a zesty, Tex-Mex base. Finally, I cook the entire thing until the beef is tender, then add potatoes and cook again until the potatoes and beef are tender.
