Texas Chili

Ok this is hands down the best chili recipe I've ever tasted, and I've tasted quite a few. If you have time, I would let this chili simmer on low heat for a long time to help the flavors develop. But it isnt necessary.

1 oz vegetable oil
2 lbs stew meat - diced small
2 onions -diced small
5 cloves - chopped
1 cup of tomato sauce
2 1/2 tbl chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
8 cups of beef broth
salt and pepper to taste

1. In a large pot, heat the oil until hot. Add the stew meat and sear over high heat until it gets a dark brown color. Add the onions and garlic until softened.

2. Add stock, tomato sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano and cumin then bring to a boil, then simmer over medium to low heat for about an hour. Feel free to add a bit more stock, if it becomes too thick.

3. Season with salt and pepper and serve with cilantro and sour cream.
