1. In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin seeds over
moderate heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant,
about 2 minutes. Grind the cumin in a spice mill or a
mortar. 2. Heat a large enameled cast-iron casserole.
Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Working in
batches, add the meat to the casserole and cook over
moderately high heat until well-browned all over,
about 8 minutes. Transfer each batch to a large plate.
3. Add the garlic, jalapenos and onions to the
casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring
occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the
commercial chili powder and pure red chile powder,
coriander and half of the ground cumin and cook,
stirring, for 2 minutes. 4. Return the cooked brisket
to the casserole and add the beef stock, beer,
tomatoes and their liquid, and the oregano. Bring to
a boil over moderately high heat, then lower the heat
and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.
Stir in the ground chuck, season with salt and cook
until the brisket is very tender and the sauce is
thickened, about 1 hour longer. Stir in the remaining
cumin and simmer for 15 minutes. Garnish with the
scallions and serve. Note: Rathern than the
commercial chili, you can use Reno Red Chili Mix,
available by mail order from Stewart's Chili Company,
