2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves -- chopped
2 onions -- chopped
1 green bell peppers --
1 chopped
3 lb beef
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground oregano
3 tbsp chili powder
10 tomatoes -- peeled and
1 chopped
2 jalapeno peppers --
1 optional
1 can beer
Directions
* Have beef chopped, not ground.
1. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Add garlic, onions and green
pepper. Saute until soft, about 5-7 minutes. 2. Add beef and lightly
brown on all surfaces. Drain off some of the fat if a lot has
accumulated. Lean beef trimmed of all fat should not have an excess
amount, however. 3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour
or slightly longer. Put a cover on skillet during cooking time, and
slightly tilt it so steam can escape. Check often and stir to prevent
sticking. Skim off fat as it rises. Best if allowed to sit, tightly
covered, for an hour after cooking is complete.

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, we find a couple of recipe books which date from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Arizona Desert Chili recipe.
