4. While the beef is browning, prepare the braise. To a dutch oven add the rough diced onion, garlic, and spices. Deseed and destem the dried chiles and place the torn chile fragments in the Dutch oven.

15. Fold the excess husk over and tie with a small strip of husk if you want. Layer the tamales on a sheet.
16. In a deep steamer, position the tamales facing up. Steam gently for 1 hour.
