Matts Texas Shiner Bock Chili Recipes

SHINER BOCK CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder and oregano and cook, stirring until softened and fragrant. (About 5-10 minutes.)
• Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile with its sauce. Cook the ingredients for 5 minutes.
• Add the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon (or a rubber spatula), and cook until the meat is browned. This will take around 10 minutes.
• Add the beer and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Chop the tomatoes, then add them and the juices they let out in the chopping process to the Dutch oven. Alternately, add the tomatoes whole with their juices and break/smash them with the wooden spoon. (This method will require you to cook them longer, but it also works!)
• Add the broth and the beans, and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Cook, uncovered, until thickened.
• Serve warm with the garnish of your choosing.

TYLER'S TEXAS CHILI

Steps:

• In a small dry skillet over low heat add the ancho peppers, oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until they begin to smell, about 2 minutes. Put the spices into a spice mill or food processor and grind until they are powdered. Set aside.
• Heat a large heavy bottomed casserole over medium heat; add 3 tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Add it to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the toasted spice mix, the garlic, chipotle, jalapeno, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Season with salt and stir well. Add some hot water until the meat is just covered with liquid. Return to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the meat and shred it with a fork. Return it to the pot, stir in the masa harina and chocolate, and cook for another 10 minutes, uncovered, to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with the queso fresco, cilantro, and lime for garnish.

TEXAS STYLE CHILI

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot (such as a cast iron Dutch oven), heat the fat or oil over high heat. Add the meat and sear, stirring, until no longer pink. Lower the heat to medium-high. Add the onions, jalapenos, garlic, chiles, and chili powder, and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are wilted and start to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the beer and tequila and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce and 4 cups of the stock, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, 2 to 3 hours, adding the remaining cup of stock as needed if the chili becomes too dry or thick. When the meat is tender and the chili is ready, add the masa harina 1 teaspoon at a time to thicken to desired consistency, stirring well and cooking after the addition of each before adding more.
• Remove from the heat and correct the seasoning, to taste. Skim any fat from the surface.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish each with cilantro, chopped onions, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with hot cornbread.

SHINER® BOCK SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large pot and season with fajita seasoning and cayenne pepper. Pour water and beer over chicken. Cook chicken over medium heat until meat falls off the bone and is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour, adding more water if liquid reduces too much. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken from broth mixture to a work surface to cool slightly, reserving broth mixture.
• Combine enchilada sauce, jalapeno peppers, onion, and about 1/4 cup chicken broth mixture together in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until onions are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Remove meat from chicken and shred into enchilada sauce mixture; mix well.
• Warm tortillas on a grill pan over medium-low heat. Spoon chicken mixture into each corn tortilla and top with Mexican cheese blend.

JOHN GAMBILL'S TEXAS CHILI

Steps:

• Brew strong coffee.
• Wash, de-vein/de-seed peppers and chop onions, garlic, peppers, and cilantro.
• On the stove in a large dutch oven fry bacon until crisp.
• Remove from oven with a slotted spoon and allow bacon to cool on paper towels.
• Brown remaining meats and onions in bacon fat over medium heat, stirring often.
• Drain fat and discard.
• Add beer and garlic to browned meats, simmer until beer evaporates.
• Crumble cooked and cooled bacon and add to the oven.
• Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Stir well, reduce heat to a slow simmer and cover.
• Cook for at least 4 hours (the longer the better) being sure to stir occasionally.
• I like to cover and refrigerate it overnight after cooking (this allows the flavors to meld).
• The next day bring it back to a boil and reduce heat to a slow simmer for another hour or two (uncovered), stirring often.
• You may add more beer or water at this point if it gets too thick or if you like a thicker chili use either 1/2°C masa harina or 1/2°C flour mixed with enough water to make a thin fluid and stir into the hot chili.
• You may add more salt to suit your taste at this point.
• Simmer for another 15 minutes.
• Remove bay leaves, if you can find them.
• Best served hot and steaming with chopped fresh onions, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Tabasco sauce, ice cold Heineken, and homemade cornbread.
