First, let's gather our ingredients. You'll need masa harina, beef, red chili sauce, corn husks, and various spices. Don't forget your apron!

Start by soaking the corn husks in warm water for an hour. Meanwhile, cook the beef with your favorite spices until it's tender and juicy.

Next, prepare the masa dough by mixing masa harina with water, lard, and salt. The consistency should be like a thick pancake batter.

Spread the masa dough onto the soaked corn husks, leaving some space at the top and bottom. Add a spoonful of beef filling and roll the husk tightly.

Place the tamales in a steamer and cook for about an hour. You'll know they're done when the masa easily separates from the husk.

Once the tamales are cooked, remove them from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully unwrap them from the husks.
