Step 1

Trim and slice beef cheek meat into small pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven on high heat. Add beef cheek meat pieces and brown evenly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

To same pot, add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and onions, reduce heat, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, jalapeno, salt, cumin, oregano, and ground guajillo chile powder and stir to blend. Continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook over low heat until completely blended, about 2 minutes,

Step 3

Add 2 cups broth. Using a spatula, scrape down sides of pot and browned bits on the bottom of the pot until everything is blended. Partially cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until cheek meat is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Add additional broth, as needed, while cheek meat is cooking. Taste and adjust seasonings.
