Casi-Style Chili

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Stews | Beef | Texan
Ingredients

  • 4 Jalape#o chiles
  • -stems & deveined, halved
  • 4 tb Chili powder
  • 1 tb Paprika
  • 2 lb Beef chuck
  • 1 md Onion, chopped
  • 2 tb Kidney suet; chopped
  • -substitute vegetable oil
  • 8 oz Tomato sauce
  • 12 oz Beer
  • 2 c Beef stock
  • 3 ts Cumin, ground
  • 2 ts Garlic powder
  • 1 ts Pepper, black
  • 1/4 c Masa harina (finely ground
  • -maize flour)

Directions
Cut beef into 1-1/2″ cubes. Brown the meat and onions in oil or fat. Add the tomato sauce, beer, beef stock, chiles, cumin, garlic, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the Chili Powder. Simmer the chili over a low head for 2 hours until the meat is tender. To thicken, make a thin paste of the masa and water. Quickly stir this into the chili — if done too slowly it will lump. Add the remaining Chili Powder and Paprika. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the Jalapenos and serve. [CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) chili-cookoff winners tend to use blended chili powder and also Jalape#o chiles, which are usually removed before serving. The beef is cubed, and masa, which is flour made from ground dried maize available in Latin markets, is used to thicken the chili.] The Whole Chile Pepper Book by Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach From Gemini’s MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
