Ingredients: 

2 tsp Minced garlic

2.5 oz Bravado Spice Crimson Hot Sauce

1/2 c Tomato sauce

1/4 c Vegetable oil 

1 1/2 lbs Beef chuck, cubed

4 Dried ancho chilies

3/4 c Sliced onion

2 c Beef broth

1 c Flour

2 tbsp Salt & pepper, each 

2 c Hot water

Tortillas, warmed

Steps:

1 Heat the water till almost boiling and then steep the ancho chilies in it until softened. At least 10 minutes. Do NOT throw out the water.

2 Add the chilies, 1/4 c onion, a pinch of salt & pepper, and 1/2 of the chili water to a blender and blend until a thin paste. 

3 In a bowl, mix the beef, flour, and one tbsp each of salt & pepper until the meat is well coated. 

4 In a large skillet, or a slow cooker set to high, heat the oil to medium-high heat and sear the beef in the skillet until lightly browned. Add onion & garlic, and the remaining salt & pepper. When the garlic have begins to brown, add the tomato sauce, chili paste, half the beef broth, and Bravado Spice Crimson Hot Sauce.  Reduce heat. If using a slow cooker reduce heat, though your cook time will increase a bit.

5 Let the beef simmer uncovered in the chili gravy for four hours, adding the remaining beef broth if the sauce starts to get too thick. After about four hours the meat should be fork tender. Serve with tortillas, rice, or sopes.
