1. Preheat the oven to 140C/300F.
2. Combine the chilies, onion, tomatoes, garlic, and beef broth into a large pot. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
3. While simmering, sear your beef. Add the oil to a large Dutch oven and place it over medium heat. Season the beef with the salt and pepper, then add it to the Dutch oven and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned.
4. Either use an immersion blender or blender to puree the chili and broth mixture until smooth.
5. Add the liquid mixture into the Dutch oven, along with the apple cider vinegar, cumin, coriander, and bay leaves. Bring everything to a simmer, then transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is tender, around 3 hours.
6. Transfer the beef into a bowl and use two forks to shred.
