nem ao ponto de chili com carne

Explanation:
I suggest this translation because Brazilian natives like me usually refer to "cook something until you have this consistency, no like this, not like that" as "cozinhe tal coisa até virar tal coisa, não ao ponto disso e nem ao ponto daquilo". Moreover, in Brazilian Portuguese, the term "chili" doesn't have an adaptation ("mozzarella" written as "muçarela") or an exact translation ("fried green tomatoes" as "tomates verdes fritos"). So, we usually refer to "chili meat" as "chili com carne" either to the sauce or to the dish itself.
I hope it helps you.

Example sentence(s):

Deixe ferver a carne, as pimentas e o caldo, mas não ao ponto de secar o caldo, nem ao ponto de chili com carne.

chili meat is generally nothing special. It is a coarse ground beef of varying quality and cut. There are no hard and fast rules about it's [sic] composition.
