Recipe View 5 hrs Slow Cook to Perfection: Place the cubed beef stew meat in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Pour the chile puree over the meat, ensuring it's well coated. Add the bay leaves. Cook over medium-low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become incredibly tender, about 3 to 5 hours.

For an even richer flavor, consider searing the beef stew meat before adding it to the pot. This will create a beautiful crust and add depth to the stew.
Adjust the amount of mixed spices and salt to your preference. Taste the stew throughout the cooking process and make adjustments as needed.
Serve with traditional accompaniments such as chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, and warm tortillas. Mexican rice and refried beans make excellent side dishes.
