The Texas BBQ Forum

Texas Red
made with Top Sirloin & Leg of Lamb
slow cooked in the dutch oven
in the oven for 3 hrs
I used chili powder..
wish i had gone to the store to get fresh chilis
good... but could have been better

What ratios are you using and is it minced up, all new to me , spices?? Looks like I'd eat it though. The heading Texas red gave me a flash of a bright red chilly, wife just picked some California grim reaper chillies in the weekend.

I used my coarse blade on my grinder to keep the meat chunky
especially since i planned on the long slow cook in the oven
both the beef and lamb were totally lean, no fat
i browned the meat & the onion in 2 tbls of bacon grease
i only used 2 tbls of chili powder, could have used 1 or 2 more
because i used 1 tbls of a spice mix
1 tbls of cumin
1 tbls of Piquin pepper instead of cayenne pepper, for the heat
1 diced sweet onion
2- tbls of minced garlic
2- 12oz brown ales for the liquid
2- small cans of tomato sauce

it was good, the meat was very tender from the long slow cook
it just didn't have as much chili pepper flavor as i like
..my chili is always better when i use fresh chilis instead of the powder

Many thanks, completely different to what I imagined.

If I fix another Ripper would you pour about a cup over it and I'll just eat it with a fork

Looks gooooood! Lamb, really? Interesting, we've never tried that.

I see no beans....thank you.

That is chili!

BUMP: Capt'n that's ?almost? too purdy to eat

I've never made red before, never had it either. I can't wait to try it. One question though, do you get a metallic taste from the cast iron? When I used to use my Dutch oven to make anything tomato based I would get a metallic taste. Just asking.

Lol, Justin, asking for a friend, there was an hilarious thing on fb the other day, and at the end it said asking for a friend,lol. I can't put it on here, but it was darn funny, you just reminded me of it,lol.
