[Pin It][1]
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?
![image][3]
**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.

Toss well.

Melt fat over medium heat in a large, oven-proof [dutch oven][8].
Add onions…
![image][9]
…and sauté until transluscent.
Stir in tomato paste and fry for 30 seconds…

…before tossing in garlic…

…and seasoned beef.
Next, pour in salsa…
![image][13]
…stock, and fish sauce and bring to a boil.

![image][15]
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.
[¡Buen apetito!][20]
