  1. 1
    - In a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, melt unsalted butter and add olive oil. Heat over medium heat.
  2. 2
    - Cut the beef or lamb into large chunks if necessary for easier handling. In batches, sear the meat pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
  3. 3
    - Once seared, remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  4. 4
    - In the same pot, add the quartered onions, whole garlic cloves, and the quartered tomatoes.

  7. 7
    - Pour in hot boiling water. Stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients well.
  8. 8
    - Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes on low heat, allowing the vegetables to soften and develop their flavors.
  9. 9
    - After cooking, carefully transfer the softened vegetable mixture (including the chilies) to a blender. Blend until smooth. Take care when blending hot ingredients to avoid splatters; you may want to allow it to cool slightly before blending.
  10. 10
    - Return the seared meat to the pot. Pour in the blended sauce, along with beef broth. Add bay leaves and sprigs of rosemary.
  11. 11
    - Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is fully tender and easily shreds with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  12. 12
    - Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
