Ingredients
  • 5 T vegetable oil
  • 3 lb beef chuck, ground for chili
  • 3 large yellow onions, finely chopped
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeño chili, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 c chili powder
  • 2 T ground cumin
  • 1 T ground oregano
  • 2 t ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 c lager-style beer
  • 2 1/2 c beef stock
  • 1 - 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 - 15 oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 - 15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 T masa harina
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Note: Ask the butcher to grind the meat for chili, using the large holes of a meat grinder to give it a coarse texture.

Directions
  1. In a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
  2. Add half of the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Transfer to a colander placed over a bowl to drain off the fat.
  4. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the oil and the remaining beef.
  5. Drain and set aside.
  6. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil.
  7. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  8. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  9. Add the jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, oregano and coriander, stir until well combined and cook for 1 minute more.
  10. Add the reserved beef, the beer, stock and tomatoes and bring to a gentle simmer.
  11. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 50 minutes.
  12. Add the kidney and pinto beans and masa harina.
  13. Simmer until the chili is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  14. Season with salt and pepper and serve in large bowls.
  15. Note: Accompany the chili with small bowls of sour cream, salsa, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
