What You'll Need
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil (see Notes)
- 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 1/2 pound top sirloin beef, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 1/2 pound lean pork butt, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup beef broth
- 1/3 cup chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoon masa harina (see Notes)
What to Do
-
In a soup pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beef, pork, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until meat is browned.

Stir in beef broth, chili powder, and oregano; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer. Add the masa harina; stir well.

- If you would like a smokier taste, substitute 3 tablespoons bacon drippings for vegetable oil. And you should find masa harina near the cornmeal in your local supermarket; if you'd prefer, you can use fine cornmeal as a substitute.
