Instructions

In a dry skillet, toast the dried chilies for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a saucepan with chopped onion and garlic cloves, cover with water, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Blend softened chilies, onion, garlic, and seasoning with some soaking liquid in a blender until smooth.
Cut beef into cubes; season with salt, pepper, and toss in flour. Brown the beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Return browned beef to the pot; pour in enough sauce to cover meat and add bay leaves. Cover and simmer on low for 2 hours.
Serve with warmed tortillas alongside fresh toppings.
