Homemade Chili

[jdpatt]

I've never used steak (as in, expensive cuts of meat), but I usually use 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 stew meat in my chili.

Never used steak? It's only a few dollars more than ground beef.

You might as well eat some random meat sauce then.

Add a quarter teaspoon of the world's hottest hotsauce and I assure you it will be remembered forever.

Some random meat sauce with lovely seasonings and with big hunks of meat in it, sure. Thats all chili is anyways =)

The secret to a tasty, meaty tasting chili is to sear the beef over very high heat. Don't use any oil and don't use a non-stick pot. You want brown/burned bits to get stuck to the bottom of the pan. After you sear the meat, turn down the heat and pour about a cup and a half of beef stock into the pan and scrape all those bits into the liquid, then pour it into a contained and set it aside. Pour it back in whenever the recipe says to add the stock/water.

The brown bits are called "fond" and pouring liquid into the pan to remove them is called "deglazing." It is the basis for many many sauces, soups and stews including just about any sauce you'll get on a steak in any restaurant.

Thanks for sharing, its nice trying out some new recipes and stuffz. Heres my chili:

1) Go to mcdonalds
2) Order a hot cup of water
3) Walk over to the catch-up and put a whole bunch of catch-up in it
4) Look in the trash for a thrown away burger or something and throw some of it in for extra taste
