Authentic Texas chili, no beans allowed.
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb beef stew meat, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups diced white onion
  • 2 red bell peppers, diced
  • 1 serrano chile, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons diced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • Plain yogurt or sour cream
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Pat dry the beef and massage it with salt. In a 5-quart ovenproof Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in two batches without disturbing, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a Dutch oven. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft. Add the serrano chile, garlic, cumin, and coriander; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the beef, tomatoes, water, and chipotle chiles and heat until simmering.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornmeal, lime juice, and brown sugar. Add this mixture to the beef in the Dutch oven. Bake uncovered for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until the beef is tender.
  • Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of cheese, and serve alongside a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and fresh cilantro leaves.
