 Use a non-aluminum pot for cooking the chili.


 


 1. Using food processor with metal blade or by hand with knife.


 


 2. With processor running drop garlic cloves in one by one, keep running


 until garlic sticks to side of bowl.


 


 3. Add onions and chop until finely chopped.


 


 4. Remove, and chop green peppers, celery, and jalapenos.


 


 5. Cut steak into 1/2 inch cubes. If steak is frozen, then thaw partially,


 this makes it easier to cut.


 


 6. Cook steak over medium high heat in 1 pound batches until steak seared


 nicely.


 


 7. Cook peppers, onions, and celery in batches until just starting to


 tenderize, (about 5 minutes). After batch is cooked add it to your large


 cooking pot.


 


 8. Add remaining ingredients except salt, pepper and jalapeno peppers to


 pot, and simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. If the


 consistency is the way you like it, then cover and simmer.


 


 9. Now add salt, pepper, and 1/2 of the jalapeno peppers. Stir well, wait
a


 few minutes. Taste, and add jalapenos to your taste. Check and adjust other


 seasonings to your taste. Stirring well and waiting after each addition.


 


 10.Taste after you add anything.


 


 TIP: If your chili is too hot add small amounts of sugar.
