Authentic Texas Chili Con Carne (USA)
Ingredients:
3 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 dried pasilla chile, stemmed and seeded
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Soak the toasted chiles in hot water for 15 minutes, then blend into a smooth paste.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, then set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until softened.
Stir in cumin, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute.
Add the chile paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth.
Simmer uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Stir in apple cider vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
 
This chili is bean-free, staying true to Texas tradition. It’s bold, smoky, and deeply satisfying.
