Serves:: 6

ingredients

4 fresh jalapeno chilies, stems and seeds removed, sliced in half
4 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 lbs beef, chuck, cut into 1 1/2 cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can beer
2 cups beef stock
3 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¹⁄₄ cup masa corn flour

directions

Brown the meat and onions in the oil. Add the tomato sauce, beer, beef stock, chilies, cumin, garlic, black pepper, and 2 Tbsp chili powder. Simmer the chili over a low heat for 2 hours until the meat is tender.
To thicken, make a thin paste of the masa and water. Quickly stir this into the chili – if done too slowly, it will lump.
Add the remaining chili powder and paprika. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the Jalapenos and serve.

I made this chili if tasted great. The only problem was that all the liquid was gone. I like the liquid in my Texas chili. this is the only type of chili I eat. As they say in Texas 'if you know beans about chili you know it ain't got any'

This is a good recipe. I had a little trouble finding ancho chile powder but the normal stuff worked well. I think i will add beans next time anyway. The only problem I had is that the directions don't say to cover the pot so a lot of the liquid cooks off. I'm thinking of cooking it covered or adding more beef stock next time. Great flavor though.
