*Hard white animal fat. Because of health concerns, many chili cooks
substitute a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening for rendered
beef suet, which is a highly saturated fat.
DIRECTIONS: Remove gristle and most of fat from meat; cut into
1/2-inch or smaller cubes (some of the beef should be chipped or
flaked). Place suet in large skillet or heavy kettle and render it
(cook until fat melts). Discard the residue.
Add meat to hot fat and saute until lightly browned. Add garlic, salt,
black pepper and chili powder. Mix well and let seasonings permeate
meat a few minutes. Sprinkle in masa harina and mix, stirring rapidly
until smooth. Add water, vinegar, bouillon and chilies. Reduce heat
and simmer until meat is very tender; some of the meat should
virtually dissolve into the chili.
If chili becomes too dry while cooking, add a little water from time
to time. Correct seasonings. When done, skim fat from surface (you can
refrigerate overnight and scrape hardened fat off before reheating).
