Ingredients

1.2 kg chuck steak or stewing beef, cut into 4cm (1 1/2in) pieces
2 Tbsp. oil
2 onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 Tbsp. chipotle paste
2 tsp. ground cumin

Directions

1. Step 1
  Season the meat. In a large casserole, over a high heat, brown the meat in batches in half the oil. Scoop out and set aside.

  Reduce the temperature, add the remaining oil and onions, cover and cook gently for 15min. Add a splash of water if onions look dry. Add the garlic, chipotle paste, spices and nearly all the chilli and cook, stirring, for 1min.
3. Step 3
  Return the meat to the pan with the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer gently for 3hrs or until beef is tender.
4. Step 4
  Add kidney beans, sugar, lime zest and juice and simmer uncovered for 20min. Scatter over coriander and remaining chilli. Serve with jacket potatoes and sour cream.
