I like to serve this dish with plantains and a green leafy veggie side like spinach, chard, kale or collards.

  • 1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  2. In a large bowl, toss the beef with the chili powder and salt.

  4. Add the onion to the pan and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic, salsa, and broth. Stir to combine, then stir in the beef.
  6. Cover the pot and bake for 2½ hours.
