  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 2 medium yellow onions diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 5 medium jalapenos, stems removed, seeded and diced
  • 11/2 teaspoons cayenne
  • 1/ 3 cup cornstarch, divided use
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3-4 cups hot water
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes

Method

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Toss the beef in corn starch mixture. Brown the seasoned beef in the shortening on high heat in a large pot.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add onions and jalapenos, stirring until onions are clear. Add 1 1/2 cups beer, bouillon cubes, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and oregano. Stir all that up and add water until your meat is covered. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, and put a lid on it for 11/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
  • Add poblanos, stir and put the lid back on and simmer for 15 minutes more.
  • Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup beer and 4 tablespoons corn starch, and add to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes and stir again. Simmer for 30 minutes
