Casi-Style Chili Recipe - Cooking Index
4 | Jalapeno chiles - stems and seeds removed, sliced in half | |
4 tablespoons | 60ml | Chili powder |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Ground paprika |
2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Beef chuck - in 1-1/2 inch cubes |
1 | Onion - chopped (medium) | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Vegetable oil |
8 oz | 227g | Tomato sauce |
12 oz | 340g | Beer |
2 cups | 474ml | Beef stock |
3 teaspoons | 15ml | Ground cumin |
2 teaspoons | 10ml | Garlic powder |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Masa de harina |
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.
Notes: [CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) chili-cook-off winners tend to use blended chili powder and also Jalapeno chiles, which are usually removed before serving. The beef is cubed, and masa, which is flour made from ground dried corn available in Latin markets, is used to thicken the chili.]
