Ingredients:

1 Tbs. Shortening
2 lb. beef, boneless and trimmed of fat (cut into sugar cube dice)
1 tsp. hot sauce
8 oz tomato sauce
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 jalapenos, sliced in half

In a large pot, melt the shortening and quickly sear the meat on all sides.
Add the hot sauce, tomato paste, bouillon cubes, and one jalapeno. Barely
cover with water.

Simmer with pot covered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add 1/3 of the
spice mixture (see below).

Add water as needed. When jalapeno becomes soft, remove, dice finely and
return to pot. Add 1/3 of spice mix. Continue cooking for another hour, stirring 
and adding water as necessary.

Add remaining spice mix, second jalapeno, and cook covered for 45 minutes.
Remove top, cook uncovered for 15 more minutes (to fill your house with the 
appropriate mouth watering aroma) and serve in warm bowls with the condiments 
of choice.
