1. Rehydrate Chiles and Toast Spices
Immerse the dried ancho, pasilla negro, and guajillo chiles in a bowl of boiling water. Let them soak for 15 minutes until soft. Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a skillet until fragrant.
2. Make the Spice Paste
In a food processor, blend the rehydrated chiles, toasted cumin and coriander seeds, chili powder, chipotle powder, oregano, kosher salt, cilantro, garlic, jalapeños, serrano, and onion into a smooth paste.
3. Marinate the Beef
Coat the beef short ribs with the spice paste and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Braise the Beef
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place marinated short ribs in a Dutch oven, and add beer, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer, then transfer to the oven and braise for 4 hours.
5. Serve the Chili
Serve the chili hot, garnished with sliced scallions or onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
