Chop fine dried ancho pepper & dried aji amarillo. Place chopped dried peppers in small bowl with about 1/3 cup water to rehydrate. If you have fresh aji amarillo, chop fine and set aside seperate from rehydrating peppers.

At the same time, brown meat in small batches in small amount of vegetable oil. Place browned mean in large pot (final pot where chili will cook)

When about 1/2 done browning meat, add to medium pot (the auguado) the cumn, aji amarillo powder, chili powder, rehydrated aji amarillo & poblano (with water) and/or fresh chopped aji amarillo

When meat is done, add a little water to the pan and remove the fond. Add to meat pot.

To the large pot, add the beef broth and tomato sauce & bring to low simmer.

When Medium pot (auguado) is ready reddish oil will be separating from mixture. Should be about 45 minutes cooking time total. When ready, transfer mixture to large pot.
