Instructions

Toast the dried chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a saucepan with chopped onion and garlic, cover with water, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Blend the softened chilies, onion, garlic, and some soaking liquid until smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Cut beef into cubes; season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, sear the beef in neutral oil until browned on all sides.
Combine seared beef with the blended sauce in the pot; add bay leaves and simmer on low for about two hours until tender.
Skim excess oil before serving hot with warm corn tortillas and desired toppings.
