In a medium saucepan, combine one quart of water and dried chilies. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Cover and let the chilies rehydrate for 1 hr.
While proteins are simmering, remove chilies from the now darkened chili stock and puree in a blender with 1 tbsp of Cowboy Butter until smooth. rub half of the chili paste on the pork and beef chunks, and let marinate for 30 minutes.
In a large dutch oven or stock pot, sear pork and beef chunks in 2 tbsp of lard on all sides and in small batches so as to not crowd the bottom of the pan. remove all protein from the dutch oven.
In the dutch oven, add two more tbsp of lard and saute garlic and onion for 3 minutes.Add proteins, remaining chili paste and cowboy butter.
Add beef and chili stock and bring to a boil.Whisk in corn flour slowly so it doesn't clump and continue to boil to thicken.
