When it comes to chili, Texas does it best. Unlike other regional variations, Texas chili, often called "chili con carne," stands out with its bold flavors, rich texture, and most notably, the absence of beans and tomatoes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this classic dish that will have you feeling like you’re dining in the heart of the Lone Star State.
Ingredients
To make a pot of authentic Texas chili, you'll need:
- 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup masa harina (corn flour) or all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Brown the Beef:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them until they are browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, making sure not to let it burn.
3. Spice it Up:
- Return the beef to the pot and stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for a few minutes, stirring continuously to coat the meat and develop the flavors.
4. Simmer the Chili:
- Pour in the beef broth and water, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
5. Thicken the Chili:
- After the chili has simmered and the beef is tender, mix the masa harina with a bit of water to form a slurry. Stir this mixture into the chili to thicken it. If you don’t have masa harina, you can use all-purpose flour or simply let the chili reduce further to your desired consistency.
6. Season to Taste:
- Taste the chili and add salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a smokier flavor, you can also add a bit of smoked paprika or a touch of chipotle powder.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Traditional accompaniments include cornbread, tortilla chips, or a dollop of sour cream. For an authentic Texas experience, serve it with a side of jalapeños and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Tips for Perfect Texas Chili
- Meat Selection: Use a good quality beef chuck for the best texture and flavor. Some recipes also incorporate ground beef or a mix of different cuts for variety.-Spices: The key to great chili is a robust blend of spices. Adjust the heat to your preference by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
- Simmering: Patience is crucial. Letting the chili simmer slowly allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- No Beans, No Tomatoes: True Texas chili purists insist that beans and tomatoes have no place in this dish. Stick to the basics to keep it authentic.
Making Texas chili is more than just following a recipe; it's about embracing a tradition that celebrates bold flavors and hearty, satisfying meals. Whether you’re preparing for a family gathering, a game day, or just a cozy night in, this Texas chili will warm you up and leave you craving more. Enjoy!
