Mexican Pork Shoulder Stew

Directions

1. Remove and discard skin and outer fat from cooked pork roast. Cut meat into 3/4-inch cubes. (You should have about 4 cups cubed pork.)
2. Place pork in a single layer in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt and black pepper. Toss pork until evenly coated with seasonings. Drizzle with lime juice and 1 tablespoon oil; toss until evenly coated. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and marinate pork in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in 6-quart soup pot or Dutch oven. Add celery, onion, carrot, and poblano and jalapeño chiles. Cook about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.**
4. Add marinated pork mixture to vegetables in soup pot. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken stock, beer, oregano and bay leaves. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gently simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
5. Stir together flour and 1/3 cup cold water in small bowl until smooth. Slowly stir flour mixture into stew mixture. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
6. Serve stew in bowls or, if desired, over rice.
