      3 lb round steak (or rump roast)

      1    coarse grind

      2 lg yellow onions.,Chopped

      3 T  olive oil.

     10    cloves garlic,Crushed

      1 pk prepared chili mix

      5 T  chili powder

      2 T  new mexican chili powder

      1 c  water

      1    salt

      1 T  cocoa powder

      1 T  cumin,Ground

      1 T  (mabye two of oregano)

      2 T  worchestersire sauce

      1    32 ounce can of,Crushed

      1    peeled,tomatoes

      1    pinto beans,Cooked

Heat the oil in a large stock pot.  When hot add the onions, and

stir turn down heat and let them simmer on low for about 1/2 hour,

stirring now and then, you want them to just turn brown.  Add the

ground meat and stir it around. Add garlic and stir well.  The meat

will take 20 minutes or so to brown.  Add the chili powders and about

1-2 cups of water, you want enough water to moisten it, but not make

it soupy, so it can simmer without drying out.  Simmer with lid off

for about 20 minutes.

Heat about 1/2 cups water to boiling, take 3-5 dried ancho chilis,

pour boiling water over and let sit for 30 minutes or so.  Pull of

stems and shake out some of the seeds.  Put in blender or food

processor with about 1/2 of the water and blend until smooth.  By

itself this stuff tastes bitter, but don't worry.

Add ancho chili paste, stir well, let simmer 10 more minutes (it

should be thickening).  Taste for salt, add just a tad if needed,

because it will cook longer and the salt will concentrate.  Add the

of cocoa powder, cumin, oregano and tomato sauce.

Stir and cook for 5-10 minutes (lid still off).  Add the beans and

their liquid (which should not be much). Cover and cook another
