Directions:

In a large Dutch oven (or other large pot) heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, saute until the onion is translucent. Add the beef and brown on all sides. After the beef is browned, all all the remaining ingredients, except the Masa Harina*. Bring to a low boil, stir, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer over low heat for 3 hours, if it starts to dry out too much, add more hot water to the pot. Check the meat for tenderness after 3 hours, if it is not tender enough, cook a little longer. Once the meat is to your desired tenderness, stir the Masa Harina* in 1/2 cup cold water until smoothe. Slowly add to the simmering chili. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. If it is too thick, stir in hot water until it reaches the desired consistency.
