Beef and Squash Chilli

Ingredients for Beef and Squash Chilli

• 1 dried ancho chilli

• 1 dried pasilla chilli

• 725ml low-sodium chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

• 450g boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2" pieces

• koscheres Salz

• Frisch gemahlener Pfeffer

• 1 large white onion, finely chopped

• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 2 Teelöffel gemahlener Kreuzkümmel

• 1 Teelöffel getrockneter Oregano

• 1 (350g) bottle lager

• 1/2 acorn squash, scrubbed, sliced into thin wedges, then into 1" pieces

• 2 Esslöffel frischer Limettensaft

• 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• Soured cream

• Chopped avocado

• Sliced red onion (for serving)

Toast chillies in a dry small skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally and pressing down to help them make contact with the pan, until darkened in colour and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with 475ml boiling water; let sit 30 minutes to soften. Drain; remove seeds and stems. Purée chillies and broth in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute.

Once chillies have soaked 10 minutes, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high. Season beef with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. At this point, quite a bit of liquid will have accumulated; continue to cook until it has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot, then white onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 6–8 minutes; onion juices will help loosen anything left on bottom of pot. Add cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Return beef to pot and add beer. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until almost completely reduced, about 4 minutes. Add chilli purée, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and meat is tender, 20–25 minutes. Add squash; cover and cook until tender, 10–15 minutes. Stir in lime juice.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 177°C. Toss pumpkin seeds and remaining 1 teaspoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool.

Serve chilli topped with soured cream, avocado, red onion, and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Chilli can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.
