Beef Chili, Texas Style - James Mcnair Recipe - Cooking Index
3 lbs | 1362g / 48oz | Round roast - trimmed |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Safflower oil |
2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | Yellow onion - finely chopped |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Garlic - minced |
3/4 cup | 177ml | Ground chili powder - preferable freshly |
Ground from dried ancho or pasilla peppers | ||
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Ground cumin |
1/2 cup | 31g / 1.1oz | Unbleached flour |

3 cups | 711ml | Tomato sauce |

Quickly rinse the beef under running cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the beef with a sharp knife or food processor, or cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. Reserve.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and cook until the meat is just past the pink stage. Add the chili powder, cumin, flour, and salt, black pepper, and cayenne to taste; mix well. Stir in the tomato sauce, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are well-blended, about 1 hour. Stir in the cooked beans, if using, the last 20 minutes of cooking. Add a little water to the pot anytime during the cooking if the mixture begins to dry out.
Serves 12.
