+Who's looking for a simple recipe for fork-tender Mexican braised beef that you can make ahead for Cinco de Mayo? Did I mention that you can assemble it from pantry staples _plus_ it's [Whole30-compliant][2] to boot?
+

+
+**Ingredients (Serves 4-6):**
+
+* 2½ pounds boneless beef short ribs, beef brisket, or beef stew meat cut into 1½-inch cubes (my favorite cut is boneless short ribs)
+* 1 tablespoon chili powder (I use [Penzeys Arizona Dreaming][4])
+* 1½ teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal brand)
+* 1 tablespoon coconut oil or fat of choice
+* 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
+* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
+* 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
+* ½ cup roasted salsa (I use Trader Joe's Double Roasted salsa)
+* ½ cup chicken stock
+* ½ teaspoon [Red Boat Fish Sauce][5]
+* ½ cup minced cilantro (optional)
+* 2 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
+
+**Here's what to do:**
+
+Preheat oven to 300°F with the rack located in the lower middle.
+
+In a large bowl, combine cubed beef, chili powder, and salt.

+
+Melt fat over medium heat in a large, oven-proof [dutch oven][8].
+
+Add onions…

+
+…and sauté until transluscent.
+
+Stir in tomato paste and fry for 30 seconds…

+
+…stock, and fish sauce and bring to a boil.

+
+Cover pot and place in oven for 3 hours or until beef is tender.

+
+Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. (At this point, you can store the beef in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat right before serving.)
+
+Spoon the beef onto a serving platter…

+
+…and top with cilantro and radishes if you've got 'em.

+
+Assemble your own tacos with lettuce leaves, [guacamole][19], diced onions, and cilantro.
