Ingredients
  

  • 6 ancho chiles dried
  • 4 chiles de arbol dried
  • 2 guajillo chiles dried
  • 2 pasilla chiles dried
  • 2 chipotle chiles dried
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes canned
  • 8 strips bacon cut into pieces
  • 3 pounds chuck roast trimmed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz beer you decide which one
  • 8 oz black coffee
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tbs ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon Mexican oregano dried (yes, it does make a difference)
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 3 tbs masa harina or cornstarch
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese grated, for topping
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced, for topping

Method
 

Direct Heat
  1. Set up the Kamado Joe for direct heat.
  2. Toast the chilies on a hot griddle for 1 minute per side. Stem, seed, cut into pieces, and soak in hot water for 30 minutes.
  3. Drain the chilies and blend with 1 cup of water. Set aside.
  4. Sear the meat on the griddle. Brown on all sides.
Indirect Heat
  1. Carefully reconfigure the Kamado Joe for indirect heat.
  2. Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven. When the bacon is done, remove the bacon.
  3. Add the onion to the Dutch oven and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the cubed beef and bacon back to the Dutch oven.
  4. Stir in the coffee, beer, water, chile mixture, cumin, oregano, allspice, cayenne and salt. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir. Close the lid and simmer uncovered for 5 hours. Stir every hour and additional water if necessary.
  5. After five hours, mix the masa harina with ½ cup of water or the cornstarch with three tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir in the paste and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve topped chopped onions and grated cheese.
