Title: Beef Chili, Texas Style - James Mcnair
Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients

      3 lb round roast; trimmed
      3 tb safflower oil
      2 c  yellow onion; finely chopped
      1 tb garlic; minced
    3/4 c  ground chili powder;
           -preferable freshly ground
      1 tb ground cumin
    1/2 c  unbleached flour
      1    salt and pepper
      1    cayenne
      3 c  tomato sauce
      4 c  cooked pinto beans

Instructions

Quickly rinse the beef under running cold water and pat dry with paper
towels. Chop the beef with a sharp knife or food processor, or cut it into
1/2-inch cubes. Reserve.

Heat the oil in a dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. Add the
onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and
cook until the meat is just past the pink stage. Add the chili powder,
cumin, flour, and salt, black pepper, and cayenne to taste; mix well. Stir
in the tomato sauce, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until the
flavors are well-blended, about 1 hour. Stir in the cooked beans, if using,
the last 20 minutes of cooking. Add a little water to the pot anytime
during the cooking if the mixture begins to dry out.

Serves 12.

NOTES : "This easy yet tasty version comes from my sister Martha, who wraps
it in warm tortillas with an array of toppings (grated jack cheese, chopped
red onion, chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, salsa). It
is also good served in bowls with the garnishes passed."
