Instructions: Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Toss beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add one-third of the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat two more times with beef and oil.

Add the last 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to Dutch oven and cook onion until lightly browned. Stir in chile powder, tomatoes, wine and garlic; bring to a simmer.

Return beef and accumulated juices to Dutch oven. Cover and bake 2 1/2 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking time, until beef is very tender.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: For a more distinctive flavor, use McCormicks ancho chile pepper or Mexican-style chili powder (available from their gourmet line of spices). Jarred roasted garlic cloves can be found in well-stocked supermarkets.
