This post is in response to someone that really wanted the recipe for my Mexican Beef Stew, which is actually a recreation of a stew that I had in Gallup, New Mexico, at a Mexican restaurant that was a family-owned little place that made its own nearly everything, including fluffy flour tortillas and a fairly standard Mexican restaurant menu but for a single item. It was lovingly placed in the MIDDLE of the second page, and had the mother's name attached to the stew. I'd never had Mexican beef stew before and ordered it, anticipating chilies or other things, but instead got this delightful brothy beef stew. There was obviously tomato in the broth, but no chilies that I could detect, no corn, no beans, just huge chunks of super tender beef, carrots, celery, potatoes, and the long, long, long simmered ghosts of onion chunks.
