  4. Add the tomatillos to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes. Return the browned beef, pour in the chicken broth, and stir in the spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 90 to 120 minutes.
  5. Once the beef is tender, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning if needed, and serve.
