Green Chili Stew is a hearty Southwestern dish made with tender chunks of pork or beef, roasted green chilies, potatoes, and aromatic spices simmered in a rich broth. It’s warming, flavorful, and perfect for cold nights or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder or beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups roasted green chilies, chopped (mild or hot)
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear meat cubes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Return the meat to the pot. Stir in green chilies, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, until meat is tender.
  7. Add cubed potatoes and simmer uncovered for another 20–30 minutes until potatoes are soft and stew is slightly thickened.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

  • Use fire-roasted Hatch or Anaheim chilies for authentic flavor.
  • Simmer longer for even more tender meat.
  • To thicken, mash a few potatoes into the broth.
