Method
- Remove stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chilies to prevent bitterness.
- Soak the chilies in hot water for 15 minutes until softened.
- In a blender, combine softened chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, and 1 cup of beef broth; blend until smooth.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- Pour remaining 3 cups of beef broth and the blended chili sauce over the seared meat.
- Add bay leaves to the pot and stir to combine.
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the meat from the pot and shred with two forks; discard bay leaves.
- Return shredded meat to the consommé, stir to heat through, and ladle into bowls.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and serve with warm tortillas; add a splash of vinegar or lime juice if desired.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a splash of vinegar or lime juice to brighten the flavors before serving.
