Preparation

Step 1

Braise Beef
Cut into 1” cubes. In a large pot, add water to cover beef, bring water to boil, add 3 tblsp cayenne (I add about 1 tblsp), and 3 tblsp meat tenderizer (I never do this). Cover pot and cook 1-2 hours until very tender. Drain meat saving liquid.

Sauté
Sauté chopped onions in olive oil, add chopped garlic cloves, cayenne, white and black pepper, cilantro, chile powder, and mustard. When onions are half-cooked, add red wine and cook thoroughly.

Blend
Combine refried beans with water drained from braised beef and tomato sauce drained from tomato cans (if available). Mixture (Legumistino paste) is added to chili to thicken as needed.

Combine
Combine sautéed onion and chorrizo mixture with browned beef in large stew pot. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Add Legumistino paste to thicken. Simmer for 1 hour.

Serve
Serve hot with salad, ribs, cornbread, and ice-cold beer.
