List of Ingredients

2 pounds round steak (2 to 3 lbs) or sirloin steak, cut 1/2" thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 jalapenos (2 to 3) use fresh, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup dark chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup beer, dark
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup masa corn flour (or cornmeal) *see Note


Recipe

1. Cut the steak into 1/2-inch cubes.

2. In a heavy skillet, brown the beef with the onion. Drain off excess fat, add garlic and stir over medium heat another minute.

3. Transfer beef mixture to the crockpot. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, beer and water.

4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

5. Stir masa or cornmeal with enough water to make a smooth paste. Stir paste into chili. Turn crockpot to high and cook uncovered for additional hour. Serves 4-6

NOTE:
Masa is finely ground cornmeal used in tortilla making. It is used to "tighten" the chili and adds flavor. It can be found in the grocery store with the flour and cornmeal. If it is unavailable, you can substitute regular cornmeal.
