Chili Con Carne (Slow‑Braised Beef with Ancho Chilies)
A deep‑flavored, oven‑braised chili con carne that extracts maximum taste from toasted ancho chilies and beef chuck. The chilies are toasted, re‑hydrated in their own flavorful broth, then turned into a paste that coats the meat. Slow cooking at 150 °C yields fork‑tender beef with a rich, smoky heat. Optional resting overnight mellows the spice and brightens the broth.
