Real Texas Chili Con Carne

Real Texas Chili Con Carne

Print Recipe
Prep Time: 50 minutes Cooking Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs beef chuck; cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 clove garlic; minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 tsps Cinnamon; optional
  • 1/4 tsps allspice; optional
  • 2 tsps dried oregano
  • 1 c chile paste
  • 2 qt chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoon maseca instant cornmeal
  • grated cheese
  • sour cream
  • green onion; chopped
  • corn chips

Instructions

1

Add dried chiles to large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or stock pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until slightly darkened with intense, roasted aroma, 2 to 5 minutes. Do not allow to smoke. Remove chiles to small bowl and set aside. Alternatively, place dried chiles on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high power in 15-second increments until pliable and toasted-smelling, about 30 seconds total. Transfer to a 2-quart microwave-safe liquid measuring cup or bowl. Add half of chicken broth and chipotle chiles, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high power until gently simmering, about 5 minutes. Remove from microwave and set aside for 5 minutes. Transfer chiles and liquid to blender and blend, starting on the lowest possible setting and gradually increasing speed to high (make sure to hold the lid down with a clean kitchen towel or a potholder to prevent it from blowing out). Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.

2

Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in the base of a Dutch oven over high heat until just starting to smoke. Add half of beef cubes in a single layer and cook without moving until deeply browned, about 6 minutes.

3

Return Dutch oven to heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently until translucent and softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, and if using, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, and oregano, and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add all meat back to pan along with chile purée and remaining quart chicken broth. Stir to combine.

4

Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, cover, leaving lid just barely ajar and cook, stirring occasionally until meat is completely tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Alternatively, stew can be cooked in a 200° to 250°F oven with the lid of the Dutch oven slightly ajar.

5

Stir in optional fish sauce, masa harina (if using), and vinegar. Add hot sauce to taste. Season to taste with salt. For best results, allow chili to cool and store in the refrigerator at least overnight and up to 5 days. Reheat the next day to serve.

6

Serve, garnished with cilantro, chopped onions, scallions, grated cheese, avocado, and warm tortillas as desired.
