Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Eight or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds lean chuck or round steak
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cups water
2 bay leaves
6 tablespoons chili powder
Salt, if desired
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons flour
3 to 5 tablespoons cold water
6 tablespoons corn meal

Steps:

  • Cut the meat into quarter-inch cubes. Heat the oil in a large kettle and add the meat. Cook, stirring, until the meat loses its raw, red look.
  • Add the four cups of water and bring to the boil. Cover and let Simmer one and one-half to two hours.
  • Add the bay leaves, chili powder, salt, garlic, cumin, oregano, pepper flakes, black pepper, sugar and paprika. Stir and cover. Cook 30 minutes.
  • Blend the flour with the cold water and stir in the corn meal, using enough liquid to prevent lumping. Add this, stirring, to the chili. Cook, stirring often, about five minutes.

I love that this recipe uses ground beef instead of stew meat. It makes the chili so much easier to eat.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili turned out really watery. I'll have to try again.

This chili is a bit too thick for my taste. I'll probably add more liquid next time.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

This chili is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.
