On two separate occasions, using only these beef cubes, and items procured from an ordinary Japanese grocery store, I was able to concoct a batch of chili that was so uncommonly delicious, two genuine Texans said it was some of the best chili they had ever had. This is, it must be said, comparable to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan commenting that your Kung fu is, in fact, very good. I attribute it all to the quality of the beef cubes. There is a heck of a lot of flavor in these bite-sized (well, bite-sized if you have a big mouth, as some Texans are known to have) chunks of steak, and not a lot of money need be expended to procure them by the kilogram. It should also be noted that the chili was competing for the attention of the crowd with not only grilled Meat Guy sausages, but also with an entire thee-kilo barbecued Meat Guy brisket. And still the chili held its own. So many people went back for seconds, thirds and fourths (full disclosure, myself included) that only an empty pot and satisfied collective glow remained at the end of the evening.
