Prepare the Beef:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and chopped tomatoes; cook until the tomatoes soften.
Combine Ingredients:
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add nopales, jalapeños or green chiles, beef broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Simmer:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the beef is tender and cooked through.
Serve:
Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the Carne Con Nopales hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Enjoy:
Pair with warm tortillas, rice, or your choice of sides for a complete meal!
