Ingredients

• 3 lbs. lean beef, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 2 Tbsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
• 2 Tbsp. chili powder

Mix together

• 4 Tbsp. chili powder
• 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. ground oregano
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

Sear meat in a large, heavy pot. Add onion powder and garlic powder, tomato sauce and 1/2 of mixed seasonings. Add water or beef broth to just cover meat. Stir and cook 2 to 3 hours, or until meat is nearly tender.

About 1/2 hour before completion, add remaining spices and continue cooking until meat is very tender. Add more salt if needed.

During cooking add additional water and/or beef broth to keep meat covered with gravy or a nice consistency (not too thick or thin).
