Randy’s Green Chili Beef
Having grown up with Arizona style Mexican food, I was not aware that you would
ever use pork in Mexican food until I came to Utah. Everything was beef down
there. I grew up with Green Chili being made with beef and lots of green chilis w
onions. I came across a recipe similar to this and I added my spin and variations to make it
more like what I was used to.
This recipe calls for Paprika. In my creating rubs and BBQ sauces, I have found
that Paprika is a wonderful flavor to cook with. I always thought it was for
decoration but upon further trial and error, the so called paprika bought in the
stores is a redish brownish bitter decoration that gets sprinkled on potato salad
and deviled eggs. The real Hungarian paprika is bright red and has an amazing
taste. It comes in 3 types, sweet, smoked, and hot. I don’t care for the smoked
flavor so I keep on hand the sweet and hot. After watching episodes of Andrew
Zimmern on the Travel Channel and reading reviews on line, here is the paprika I
use and I recommend using in this recipe.

stale kind at the grocery store) and make yourself some outrageous green chili
