The Best Authentic Texas Chili Recipe image

An authentic Texas Chili with a homemade chili paste, chunks of beef chuck, a mix of dry spices, chocolate, and Texas beer for the ultimate "Bowl o' Red".

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h35m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 dried Ancho chilies
2 dried Guajillo chilies
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons masa flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon salt, plus more for seasoning if needed
1 tablespoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning if needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2 in. cubes
1 medium white onion
2 jalapeños
3 cups beef stock (divided 1 cup and 2 cups)
1 bottle (12 fl oz) Shiner Black Lager or Shiner Bock
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut the stems off the dried chilies and remove all of the seeds. Place them in a blender with 1 cup of warm beef stock. Cover the blender and let them soak in the beef stock for 30 minutes.
  • While the dried chilies are soaking, cut the beef chuck roast into 1/2 inch cubes and dice the white onion and jalapeños.
  • In a bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, masa flour, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • After 30 minutes, puree the chilies and beef stock together to create a homemade chili paste. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium cast-iron Dutch oven. Brown the beef chuck cubes on all sides. If there is not enough room in the Dutch oven, brown the beef chuck cubes in batches. Do not remove the brown buts or liquid from the Dutch oven - this has all the flavor and will be used for the Texas Chili. Remove the browned beef chuck and set aside.
  • Using the remaining liquid in the saucepan, sauté the onions till translucent. Then add the diced jalapeños.
  • Deglaze the Dutch oven by adding the Shiner beer, remaining 2 cups of beef stock, and apple cider vinegar. Then scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to get all the bits of flavor incorporated.
  • Add the beef chuck back into the Dutch oven along with the homemade chili paste, dry ingredient mix, and brown sugar. Mix all of the ingredients together and bring to a boil.
  • Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat, slightly cover the Dutch oven, and simmer for 2 - 2.5 hours or until the beef chuck is tender. Make sure you stir the Texas Chili occasionally.
  • Once the beef chuck is tender, serve the Texas Chili with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, and a side of cornbread.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

7 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
4 pounds bottom round beef, cut into 1/2 -inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
One 12-ounce bottle dark beer
1 large red onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon seeded and chopped habanero
1 Thai bird chile, seeded and chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 poblano, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon cascabel chile powder
1 tablespoon chipotle pepper puree
1 tablespoon pasilla chile powder
1 teaspoon New Mexican chile powder
5 cups homemade chicken stock, canned low-sodium broth or water
One 16-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained and pureed
2 tablespoons finely chopped semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons maple syrup, or more as needed
1/2 tablespoon cumin seeds
1/2 cup Mexican crema or creme fraeche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and add one-third of the meat to the pan and saute until browned on all sides. Repeat with the oil and meat, draining any excess liquid from the pan between the batches. Return the meat to the pan, sprinkle with the cumin and stir well. Deglaze the pan with the beer and bring to a boil. Cook until the beer is almost completely reduced. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan and then add the onions and cook on medium heat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the habanero, Thai bird, jalapeno and poblano peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ancho chile pepper, cascabel chile powder, chipotle pepper puree, pasilla chile powder and New Mexican chile powder, and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and tomatoes, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Puree with an immersion blender. Add the beef back to the pan, reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the chili is thick and the beef is tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. If the chili has too much liquid, continue to cook uncovered to thicken, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, add in the chocolate and maple syrup and stir until the chocolate is melted and combined and adjust seasonings. Serve with Toasted Cumin Crema.
  • Place the cumin in a small saute pan over medium heat. Toast until lightly golden brown. Place in a small bowl. Stir in the crema and season with salt and pepper. Place in a squeeze bottle for serving.

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!
