TEXAS CHILI - AWARD WINNING CHILI RECIPE

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.
