Real Texas Chili contains no onions, tomatoes or beans. This chili requires overnight refrigeration which allows the flavors to marry. Don't be fooled by the ingredients list, my version is pretty spicy, adjust to your tastes.

Ingredients
3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon dried oregano
28 ounces beef stock [2 14 ounce containers], divided
1 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
sour cream, for serving
lime wedges, for serving

Method
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the beef cubes in the oil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the garlic.

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin and flour. Sprinkle over the meat and stir until evenly coated. Crumble the oregano over the meat and pour in 1 1/2 cans of the broth.

Add the salt and ground black pepper, stir together well, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer, partially covered for about 90 minutes. Pour in remaining broth and simmer 30 minutes more, until meat begins to fall apart.

Cool, cover and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, heat over low heat until hot. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.
