Directions
-
Melt the suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
-
If using suet, remove any unrendered bits, then add the beef chuck and round to the pot.
-
Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.
-
Add the tomato sauce, beer, ground red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, and the salt.
-
Stir to blend all ingredients thoroughly.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper if desired for extra heat.
-
Continue to simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour longer.
-
Stir in the grated Monterey Jack cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cumin.
-
Simmer for 30 minutes longer, stirring often to keep the cheese from burning or sticking to the bottom.
