USA/ARIZONA ~ Cowboy Beef Chili
ALL-AMERICAN COWBOY BEEF CHILI
Makes 10 servings
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb cubed beef stew meat, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup white flour
1 cup water
1 can (15oz) tomato sauce
1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (26oz) ranchstyle or regular chili beans
8 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons Ancho or regular chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
In a large pan, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic and saute. Meanwhile, place the flour in a one-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add cubed beef, seal the bag and shake until beef is covered lightly. Add beef to the saute pan and cook on high until onion is clear and beef is browned. Remove from heat and reserve. In a large mixing bowl, combine water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beans. Add chili powder, cumin, and Ancho powder. Place meat mixture into the bowl and mix well so that all components are well combined. Place into pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until beef is very tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper and hot sauce, if desired. Serve with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and freshly-chopped scallions on top.
