  5. In a small bowl mix together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in the oil, adding more if needed to that the mixture is not hard to stir, but not runny.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the heated chile mixture and stir until hot, about 2 to 3 minutes. While stirring constantly, slowly add the hot beef stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more stock if necessary.
