Serves 8+

Phase One

21/2 lb sirloin tip beef, cut into chunks 
11/2 TB organic extra virgin olive oil 
1 small onion, diced 
6 cloves garlic, freshly pressed 
3 cups chicken stock 
8 oz tomato sauce 
1 TB cumin 
1 TB dry mustard 
1/2 tsp oregano 
1 small (4 oz) can diced green chiles 
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, diced 
1 tsp black pepper 
1 tsp salt
Phase Two 
4 oz tomato sauce 
4 TB chili powder 
1 tsp to 1 Tb African Bird Pepper, to taste 
2 TB cumin 
2 cloves garlic, freshly pressed 
12 oz of your favorite ale 
1 TB Tabasco 
1/2 TB brown sugar 

Phase One
In a 4-quart heavy bottomed cooking pot, sauté meat in olive oil until well 
browned. Stir in the other ingredients and simmer, covered, 11/2 hours.

Phase Two
Uncover, stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer an additional hour 
or so. When cooked to desired consistency, smash beef chunks to shreds. 
Cook another 30 minutes to meld shredded beef with spices.

Top with raw, freshly diced yellow onion, sour cream or shredded cheddar 
cheese. This is spicy, rich, and super-beefy, so be ready or beware.
