Ingredients

3 dried guajillo chile peppers
3 dried pasilla chile peppers
1 (4 pound) beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, quartered
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add chuck roast and season with salt and pepper. Cook meat until dark brown and crispy on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. While meat cooks, combine softened chile peppers, onion, vinegar, garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, agave nectar, and cinnamon in a blender. Process sauce until smooth.
