It's true I'm prone to occasional hyperbole but I really do think this is one of Mexico’s most iconic flavors. Nowhere else in the world makes a chile sauce like this—focused, balanced, pure rustyred goodness with a gentle glowing heat. This is related to a northern Mexican dish called carne con chile colorado, though that dish uses the colorado chile (similar to New Mexican chiles), which has a less robust flavor. And here, I’ve enveloped seared cubes of steak in that beautiful sauce, rather than use lesstender cuts that need a long braise in it. The sweet crunch of the caramelized onion offers the perfect counterpoint to vibrant red chile and savory seared beef.
