I think that I have likely posted this one before, but here it is again:
Doug's good Texas Chili
1 1/2 lbs of beef round steak, cut in one inch chunks	
1	cup of chopped onions
4	cloves of garlic, finely chopped
4	jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1	hab seeded and chopped
3	tbls flour
2	tsps comino(cumin)seeds
2	cups of good chicken broth
salt and freshly ground black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
Cook the onions, garlic and chiles in a little olive oil until the onions
are transparent, remove to a dish, add a little more oil, heat the pan
to hot and brown the beef chunks. Do not burn them, and when they are
all nicely browned, throw the veggies back in, and add the flour, mixing
it around well....add the chicken broth(use beef broth if you wish)and
cook on a simmer for about two hours, checking that it does not stick,or
become too thick...if it starts getting too thick, add a little more
broth. Taste it at this point, and season to taste....there is NO canned
chili powder in this recipe...add more cumin if desired. Cheers, Doug in BC
