3 cups beef broth -- (approximately)
3 cups flat beer
1 1/2 cups water

1. In a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, warm 3

transferring meat with a slotted spoon to a large stockpot when well
browned. Do not
crowd skillet.

2. Reduce heat to moderately low. Add onion and garlic and saute
until
softened (about 10 minutes). Add to stockpot along with broth, beer,
the water,
chili powder, tomato, tomato paste, and oregano.

3. In a small skillet over low heat, toast cumin seed until fragrant;
do
not allow to burn. Grind in an electric minichopper or with a mortar
and
pestle. Add to stockpot.

4. Over high heat bring mixture to a simmer. Add salt, cayenne, and

and add
more broth if mixture seems dry. If chili is too thin when meat is
tender, stir
in up to 2 tablespoons masa harina. Cook an additional 5 minutes to
thicken.
Serve chili hot.
