Venison chili

Stew meat, a long simmer, and no apology about beans. This is the pot for the trim that will not make a steak.

You will need
  • Venison stew meat, cubed
  • Onion and garlic
  • Chili powder, cumin, oregano
  • Crushed tomato
  • Beans, if you are honest about wanting beans
  • Stock
The method
  1. Brown. Salt the meat and brown it in batches. Gray meat makes gray chili.
  2. Bloom. Onion, garlic, then the spices in the fat for a minute.
  3. Simmer. Tomato, stock, meat. Low heat until a cube breaks with a spoon.
  4. Beans last. Add them when the meat is close, so they do not turn to paste.

A spoon of the rendered duck fat from the pan-breast recipe is a legal ingredient. We checked with ourselves.
