Ingredientes:

1. Begin by deseeding the dried chilies and soaking them in hot water for about 20 minutes, until they become soft.
2. In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
3. Season the beef or goat meat with salt and pepper, then brown it in a large pot over medium-high heat.
