INSTRUCTIONS
In a large flameproof casserole or Dutch oven, heat the bacon grease over
medium heat. Season the beef brisket with salt and pepper. Working in
batches to avoid crowding, add the brisket and cook, turning occasionally,
until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a
plate.
Add the onion and garlic to the casserole and cook, stirring often, until
the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the beef stock. Return the
brisket to the pot and add the chilies. Bring to a simmer over high heat,
skimming off any foam that forms on the surface. Reduce the heat to low,
cover and simmer until the brisket is tender, about 2-1/2 hours.
During the last 30 minutes, stir in the potatoes, corn, and cilantro.
Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Skim any fat from the top of
the stew. (It's easier to remove the fat if the stew is cooled to room
temperature, covered and refrigerated overnight. Discard hardened fat from
surface. Reheat gently over low heat before proceeding.)
In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup of the cooking liquid with the flour until
smooth. Stir into the stew and simmer until the sauce is thickened, about
3 minutes. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper; serve hot.
Freezes and reheats well.
Makes 8 servings.
