Recipe
Cut beef into 1 inch chunks or thereabouts. let beef soak in
a bowl with the tomatoes and juice, lemon juice,
mushrooms, blak pepper, crushed chilis and onions over
night. Brown the meat in a skillet. In large pot throw
in the tomatoes and crushed chillis, onions, meat,
paste, everything except the beans and peppers and
slow cook for three hours. Next chop your green and
red peppers into long slivers or if you prefer diced.
Also stir in your beans and cook slowly for one more
hour. With the thick "soupy" ring around the pot; stir
back into the simmering chili.
Advice from submitter to group:
You might like the chili hotter or maybe milder,
depends on your taste. What ever you do, don't ruin
the chili by making it hotter with hot sauces, this
has a tendency to make the chili into "superficial"
body heat not a deep solid heat.
