TIMESAVING FOOTNOTE: I am now a firm believer in buying the "Shredded Beef" at your supermarker butcher counter, which dispenses almost entirely with the chopping process. Another alternative is to find a butcher with a "chili plate" for a coarse grind. Make sure you let it cook at least 3 hours --6 or 12 hours is even better.
