Hearty, full-flavored, and perfect when you want to make a big pot to share. This chili is all about tender beef, deep spices, and no beans—just the good stuff.
Ingredients
-
4lbs REP Chuck Roast, trimmed and cut into ½ in chunks
-
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
-
Olive Oil, divided use (about 6 tbsp)
-
3 Jalapeños, seeded and diced
-
1 Large Yellow Onion, diced
-
5 Cloves Garlic, minced
-
1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo, seeded & finely chopped
-
1 can (28oz) Crushed Tomatoes
-
3 tbsp Tomato Paste
-
4 cups Beef Broth or Stock
-
2 Bay Leaves
Directions
Season & brown the beef. Season the beef chunks with salt & pepper. Heat half the
olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Brown half the meat, then do the same with the
rest (adds more flavor). Remove the beef and set aside.
Cook the aromatics. Add the remaining oil. Sauté the jalapeños and onions until
softened (don’t let them brown too much). Add garlic & the chopped chipotle pepper; cook just until fragrant.
Add spices. Stir in the spice mix—chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano,
chipotle powder, cocoa, coriander, and cinnamon. Let them cook briefly to release their
flavors.
Build the chili. Return the beef to the pot. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef
stock, and the bay leaves.
Simmer low & slow. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Let it simmer
uncovered for 3 to 3½ hours, stirring every now and then so nothing sticks. If it gets too
thick, add a bit more stock.
Finish & serve. Remove bay leaves. Serve piping hot, with optional toppings like
shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
Recipe Note
-Craving more heat? Add extra chipotle peppers or more chipotle powder.
-If making ahead or for a crowd, this chili freezes well.
-Since there are no beans, this version lets the beef and spices shine.
