We love this authentic Texas chili recipe with beef chuck, dried red chiles, and spices. The beef simmers in an outrageously flavorful red chile sauce until fork tender. It’s delicious!
Ingredient:
- 4 pounds (1.8kg) beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and gristle, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 whole dried New Mexico or California chili peppers
- 3 whole dried Guajillo chili peppers
- 3 whole dried Ancho chili peppers
- 6 cups (1.4L) rich vegetable, beef, or chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large fresh poblano pepper, seeds removed and chopped
- 6 medium garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
- One 3-inch cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chipotle powder, for spicy chili, see tips
- 1 tablespoon masa harina or 1 to 2 small corn tortillas torn into small pieces
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
