Frank X Tolberts Quintessential Bowl of Texas Red Chili
3 pounds of mature lean beef
beer
1/8 pound kidney suet
2 to 4 jalapeno chili pods.
2 tablespoons crushed cumin seeds
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon oregano
garlic cloves
Marinate the beef in beer and keep the liquid for the cooking process. Cut the meat into thumb size pieces. Sear the beef and suet in vegetable oil to seal in the juices. Use two peppers for each pound of meat. This will produce a mild chili. Puree the jalapenos with water and transfer the puree, beer marinade and beef to a large pot. Bring the mixture to boil and then simmer for thirty minutes. Take the pot off the stove and add the cumin, salt, cayenne, oregano and garlic to taste. Use paprika to adjust the color. Put the pot back on the stove, bring to a boil and then simmer for 45 minutes. Stir and keep the lid on as much as possible. Cook until the beef is tender. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Rewarm and serve.

If you can't find kidney suet....just melt the balls hanging near your bird!!thirdeye said:Kidney suet is mentioned in a lot of Texas chili recipes. I've never seen or heard of it for sale in butcher shops, must be very special.
On the other hand, it is common to find it in those balls you hang by your bird feeder in the fall and winter. Kidney suet has a higher melting point than tallow so it helps them hold up better.
