Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 pounds chuck, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for frying
  • 2 yellow onions, peeled and sliced in 1-inch rounds
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • Enchilada sauce, recipe follows
  • 16 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups grated Cheddar
  • 2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 (6-ounce) can sliced black olives
  • 1 cup sour cream, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Trim, cut, pat dry and season the beef with salt and pepper. Coat the bottom of a large heavy Dutch oven with oil. Heat the oil, over medium heat, and brown the beef, in batches, being careful to not crowd. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, if needed, to finish the beef. As the beef browns, add it to a bowl and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pot over medium heat and add the onions; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the stock to deglaze the pan. Add the browned beef, the vinegar and the water and cover tightly. Put the pot in the oven and after 45 minutes, give the beef a stir. Cover and cook for an additional 2 hours and 15 minutes, stirring every 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Shred with forks, incorporating the onions and garlic.

When ready to assemble, put 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat with just enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom. Dip the tortillas, 1 at a time, into the sauce, and cook until tender, about 1 minute each. Combine the cheeses in a medium bowl. Remove the enchiladas to a flat surface. Fill each with some of the shredded meat and cheese, (reserve some cheese for the top of the baking pan). Roll and arrange them, seam side down, in the baking pan, packing the enchiladas tightly. Add additional sauce to come 1/3 up the sides of the enchiladas, then sprinkle a line of cheese, lengthwise, down the center of the pan. Garnish with green onions and black olives. Bake until bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let sit for 5 minutes and then serve with sour cream.

Caesars Enchilada Sauce:

  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 3 ounces dried California chile pods
  • 6 ounces dried guajillo chile pods
  • 2 ounces dried pasilla chile pods
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (28-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, preferably fire roasted
  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Add the boiling water to a large bowl and add all of the chiles. Let steep in water for 1 hour.

Transfer the chiles and the steeping liquid to a blender and puree for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the blender and strain through strainer.

Heat the oil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, saute until soft. Stir in the diced tomatoes, strained chiles, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper and cloves. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for approximately 30 minutes.

    I find these recipes don't always include ingredients/techniques as prepared on TV. Guy removed stems and seeds before soaking chilies and added chili powder to the sauce. I agree with harperoni, the amount of chilies seems double. My initial chili puree was bitter, got better after straining and tasted pretty good when I added half to the other sauce ingredients. When I added the rest of the puree the sauce was too bitter, lost its other flavors and was just plain hot. I added honey and that helped but I didn't like the sweetness of the final enchilada, and still found it too hot with little flavor. My husband LOVED the enchiladas. My native Texan mother and I agree we wouldn't make the sauce again as is. I've had good fresh enchilada sauce before. Perhaps I'll try again with half of the chilies. Don't forget to puree final sauce. The meat was DELICIOUS! I followed Guy's preparation technique with a 2.5lb bone-in chuck roast and cooked 10 hours overnight in a crockpot.

    This recipe is excellent!!! The meat is just the right flavor and very easy. Will never make the meat anyway else because no matter who I serve this to it gets rave reviews. I will have to admit that even though I have used the meat recipe over a dozen times I have never made the sauce that accompanies the recipe. It just looks too daunting and my family doesn't like a great deal of heat. I always wanted something between what this sauce might be and store bought sauce which I will NEVER waste my $ on no matter how cheap it is!!! What I make is Emerill's Easy Enchilada Sauce. It is quick easy and delicious.
