Frank X Tolbert's Original Bowl Of Red


Yield: 1 Servings

3 lb beef, Lean
1/8 lb rendered beef kidney suet
1 tsp each oregano, cumin powder,
1 salt, cayenne pepper, and
1 Tabasco
3 Tbsp chile powder (optional)
4 hot chile peppers
2 cloves of garlic, Chopped
2 tsp masa harina

Texas chili is meat and spices and that's it. The legendary Wick
Fowler added a little tomato sauce to his to thicken it, but actual
tomatoes and onions do not appear, nor do beans. If you must have
beans, you cook them in a separate pot and people can serve them with
the chili as much as they like.

sear beef in a 4qt+ dutch oven or skillet. You may need a little oil
to prevent the meat from sticking. When the meat is all gray, add
suet and chile peppers and about two inches of liquid (you can use
water, I use beer). Simmer for 30 min.

Add spices and garlic, bring to boil, lower heat and simmer for 45
minutes. Add more liquid only to keep the mix from burning.

Skim off as much grease as you can , and add masa harina. Simmer for
another 30 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if necessary.

This is spicy chili, so leave out some of the spicy stuff in the
beginning if you prefer a milder chili.
