Description
A flavorful and hearty chili made with tender beef, a variety of beans, and a kick of spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds bottom round roast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large yellow onions, diced
- 2 medium jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chiles
- 2 cups beef broth, or as needed
Instructions
- Sprinkle beef cubes evenly with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring thorough coverage.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add cubed beef and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer browned beef to a bowl and repeat with remaining pieces.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. In the same skillet, add diced onions and jalapeños. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in chili powder and ground cumin, mixing thoroughly with the aromatics. Add diced tomatoes with juices, black beans, kidney beans, chopped green chiles, and return the browned beef with any accumulated juices to the pot. Pour in beef broth to desired consistency and blend well.
- Lower heat to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 30 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and flavors have melded. Adjust broth as needed to maintain preferred chili consistency.
Notes
- For extra spice, leave some seeds in the jalapeño peppers.
- Chill overnight for even better flavor the next day.
- Can be topped with cheese, sour cream, or green onions if desired.
