- Put chillies and 100ml of the soaking water in a blender with cocoa powder, oregano, cumin, paprika and cinnamon and blend until smooth. Set sauce aside.
- Add the oil to your Cooking Bowl and whilst it heats up season your chuck steak with salt and pepper. Fry the steak until browned on all sides, about 4-6 minutes, then transfer to plate.
- Add garlic and onion to your Cooking Bowl and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree until it is slightly caramelised.
- Pour in the chilli sauce and reduce down.
- Then return the beef to the bowl, plus the chopped tomatoes, beer, brown sugar and stock. Cook until the beef is very tender, 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
- Stir in pinto beans, chocolate and lime juice with some salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls with coriander, sour cream and avocado.
