INSTRUCTIONS
Trim the meat of all visible fat. If there is a large strip of fat on
one side of the meat, save it whole. Cut meat into 1/4-inch cubes and
brown it in a frying pan. In a large chili pot, place tomatoes, tomato
sauce and water or beer. Bring to a slow boil. Add the meat, chili
seasoning, onion, garlic, peppers, sugar, salt and pepper. If you are
using the optional bell pepper, cut it into 1-inch strips and add them
now. If you have that large piece of steak fat, add it now; if not,
add about 1 T of cooking oil. Cover and reduce heat, simmer at least
one hour (two to three is better) stirring occasionally. At the end of
the simmering remove and discard the piece of steak fat. NOTES A
hearty (and hot) Texas-style chili -- This is a chili traditional in
our Super-Bowl Sunday festivities. It has won several "no holds
barred" (non ICS) chili cookoffs where there are no specific rules. It
is the result of countless changes and adjustments of a small group of
chili aficionados (aka chiliheads). Note: there is a range of peppers
specified, you may adjust the "temperature" of the resultant chili,
mild if you use the low end, or nuclear if you use the high end (we
do!). Yield: serves 6-8. Mix the masa flour with about 1/4 cup water
and add to chili pot along with the pinto beans (or any kind you
prefer). Simmer an additional 30 minutes. Serve. If you have made the
nuclear version, make sure there is plenty of beer on hand. For
chili seasoning, we make up batches consisting of 8 parts chili
powder, 2 parts ground cumin, and 1 part crushed (not ground) cayenne
peppers. : Difficulty: easy to moderate. : Time: 30 minutes
preparation, 1 1/2 to 3 hours cooking. : Precision: approximate
measurement OK. Pete Bellas When it is not necessary to make
a decision, : Citicorp TTI it is necessary to not make a
decision. : Santa Monica, CA : Lord Faukland (Island) :
