Beef Pozole (Hearty Beef Stew) Total recipe time: 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2-1/2 pounds beef for stew, cut into 1 to 1-1/2 inch pieces
  2. 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 cup chopped white onion
  5. 5 jalapeno peppers, chopped
  6. 2 cans (14 to 14-1/2 ounces each) ready-to-serve beef broth
  7. 1 can (29 ounces) hominy, drained
  8. 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  9. 1 sprig fresh epazote or 1 tablespoon dried epazote leaves, crushed (optional)
  10. 2 small zucchini, chopped (2 cups)
  11. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    Toppings:
  1. Lime wedges, chopped fresh cilantro, crisp tortilla strips, sliced onion, crumbled Mexican cheese (queso fresco, cotija or anejo), sour cream (optional)

Cook's Notes

Beef Pozole (Hearty Beef Stew)

The word “pozole” refers to the hominy in this Mexican stew. Hominy is made from dried corn kernels that have been soaked in an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ and are then boiled until soft and puffy.
