2 lb boneless short ribs
1 white onion
3 1/2 whole jalapeno peppers
5 cloves garlic
1 tbsp each: chili powder
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 whole chipotle chile in adobo + 1 tsp adobo sauce minced

Steps

Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown the short ribs on all sides for 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to a plate.
Cook the onion, jalapenos, and garlic in the pot for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in the chili powder, tomato paste, chipotle chile, and adobo sauce for 1 minute.
Add the broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and short ribs, then bring the stew to a boil.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours and 15 minutes, turning the ribs halfway through.
Stir in the masa harina and lime juice, then simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until thickened and the ribs are fork-tender.
