Directions:Brown meat with rendered kidney fat until gray in color, about 2 lb at a time. Return meat and natural juices to cooking pot. Saute onions in 1 T rendered kidney fat until translucent, return to pot. Add beer, tomato sauce, hot water, beef stock, 1/2 the mashed garlic mixture, 2 T paprika, 1 t salt, flavor enhancer, 1 t pepper. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours until meat is tender. Be sure pot has a tight lid, as this will help the tenderizing process. Stir occasionally.
When meat is tender, add remaining garlic mixture, unblended chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper and chili japones, cooking 15 more minutes.
Turn heat off and let sit one or two hours so the flavor of spices is absorbed. Turn heat back on and simmer for one more hour. Total cooking time is 3 hours and 15 minutes. |
