Ingredients
  

  • 800 grams 20% Ground Beef
  • 500 grams Beef Chuck cut into 2cm pieces
  • 50 grams Tallow or beef dripping
  • 500 ml Beef Bone Broth
  • 2 Egg Yolks optional, to thicken
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper optional, if you eat spice
  • Grated cheddar and soured cream to serve, optional

Instructions
 

  • Brown the ground beef hard in a dry heavy pot over high heat, in two batches so it colours instead of steaming. Lift it out and set aside.
  • Melt the tallow in the same pot and brown the diced chuck on all sides. Do not rush this, the dark crust stuck to the pot is the flavour.
  • Return the mince, pour in the bone broth, add the salt (and cayenne if using), and scrape up every browned bit from the bottom.
  • Bring to a bare simmer, cover, and cook low for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the chuck is fork-tender and the fat has emulsified into the sauce.
  • For a thicker chili, take the lid off for the last 20 minutes, or whisk the egg yolks into a ladle of the warm (not boiling) liquid and stir it back in.
  • Taste, add more salt, and serve with grated cheddar and soured cream if you want them.
