CHILE CON CARNE ROJO, SONORAN STYLE
This recipe came to me in a cookbook published as a fund-raiser by the faculty of the school where I taught. I've used it for thirty years or so, making so many changes along the way that it is now truly "my" recipe. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put the cut-up beef in a dutch oven or similar large kettle, cover with water and boil with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and 3-4 bay leaves. Boil until meat is tender.
- Remove bay leaves and throw them away. Remove the meat.
- Pour the liquid into another container. (I use a good-sized plastic pitcher.).
- Stir the chili paste into the liquid. ( Or use 8 ounces of the paste and 8 ounces of made-from-scratch chile sauce. Or if you have an asbestos tongue, skip the commercial stuff entirely!).
- Melt shortening in the bottom of the kettle. Add flour and cook until brown, stirring almost constantly.
- Add 10 cups or so of the beef stock/chile mixture gradually, while stirring. (It's like making gravy.).
- Reduce heat and add oregano, cumin, more garlic, and salt to taste.
- Stir in the meat.
- DO NOT add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, or any other tomato product!
- Serve with flour tortillas and refried beans. Or make your own burros and serve it that way. Left overs (if any) freeze well.
