Time 2h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 large onions, chopped
8 pounds beef stew meat, or coarse ground chili beef
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 tablespoons ground red chile pepper
4 tablespoons mild chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ cup sweet Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
3 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
¼ cup dried parsley
1 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 cup masa harina flour

Steps:

  • Melt the bacon drippings in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
  • Combine the beef with the garlic, ground chile, chili powder and cumin. Add this meat-and-spices to the onions in the pot. Break up any meat that sticks together as you cook, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes, until meat is evenly browned (very browned, not just gray). Sprinkle in Hungarian paprika and oregano.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, salt, parsley and jalapeno. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. NOTE: True Texans DO NOT add beans to their chili, but my husband loves them, so this is the point where you can add as many cans of drained and rinsed pinto beans as you wish (I add 2 cans, but shhhhhh don't tell my Daddy!!!).
  • During cooking you may squeeze the jalapeno as it softens against the sides of the pot to release more heat if desired.
  • Mix in the masa harina, and cook while stirring for 30 minutes longer, or until desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust seasonings.

TEXAS CHILI



Texas Chili image

Provided by Duff Goldman

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ounces dried chiles, such as guajillo, arbol, ancho, japones or a combination (8 to 10 chiles)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups beef stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 tablespoons lard, vegetable oil or rendered beef suet
2 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck, well-trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (to yield 2 pounds after trimming)
2 tablespoons masa harina (corn tortilla flour)
1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Mexican crema, for serving
Shredded Mexican blend cheese or Cheddar, for serving
Diced white onion, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the chiles on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Don't let them burn or they will turn bitter. Transfer the chiles to a medium heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let the chiles soak until softened, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Drain the chiles then remove and discard the stems. Split open each chile and scrape out the seeds with the back of your knife. Discard the seeds and transfer the chiles to a blender. Add the cumin, half of the diced onion, half of the garlic, 1/2 cup of the beef stock, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Blend, occasionally scraping down the sides of the blender, until a smooth, slightly fluid paste forms (you want to eliminate all but the tiniest bits of skin).
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chile paste and cook until slightly darkened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the lard (or heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil). Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. When the lard begins to smoke, swirl the pot to coat and add half of the beef. Cook, lowering the heat if the meat threatens to burn, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with 2 more tablespoons of the lard and the remaining beef. Set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon lard (or heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil) in the pot. Add the remaining diced onion and garlic and cook gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beef back to the pot along with any juices. Then add 2 cups water and the remaining 2 cups beef stock. Stir in the reserved chile paste and bring to a simmer over high heat, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Lower the heat to maintain the barest possible simmer (just a few bubbles breaking the surface) and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Thoroughly stir the masa harina, brown sugar and vinegar into the chili. Gently simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Serve in individual bowls with a dollop of crema, shredded cheese, white onion and a lime wedge.
