Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

7-8 pounds beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup ghee, clarified butter OR canola or vegetable oil
8 medium onions, chopped
10 garlic cloves, minced
4 cans tomato paste
8 T dried oregano
4 T chili powder
2 T ancho chili powder
4 t cayenne pepper
2 T paprika
2 T hot sauce
2 t cumin
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 T ghee in a very large pot over high heat. Brown beef in batches, taking care not to overcrowd your pan (each piece of beef should have space around it; too much in the pan will steam your beef, not sear it; searing and browning is what adds so much flavor). Add additional 1 T ghee as needed with each new batch.
  • Add onions and garlic, cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and just starting to brown.
  • Stir in tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping bottom of pot with a wooden spoon, until tomato paste is caramelized, about 12 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Add beef back to pot along with 5 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, about 2-3 hours.

AWARD WINNING TEXAS CHILI



Award Winning Texas Chili image

This is some of the best chili in the world! I developed this chili recipe while cooking on the CASI chili circuit and won numerous awards with it! If you can not find the Sazon Goya just omit it. I do not add any "Floaters" (Beans, Onions, Peppers,...) but you may if you would like to. The recipe is cooked by using dumps...this is important not to overpower one spice over the other. I usually premix each dump during preparation and put in bowls or plastic storage bags and label accordingly. Enjoy!
