Amazing Beef Chili

Spicy Meets Chocolate

Amazing Beef Chili is a FANTASTIC combination of pepper, onions, spices and chocolate. This recipe starts with a cubed chuck roast; the meat is slow cooked with a little beer, chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes. I call this -- Spicy meets chocolate for a unique flavor.

Amazing Beef Chili

3 pound chuck roast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
12 ounce bottle dark beer
5 tablespoons olive oil

Dry Ingredients:
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon pasilla chile powder
1 TEASPOON ground chili De Arbol
1 table spoon New Mexican Chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dried mexican oregano
1 tablespoon paprika

Fresh Ingredients:
1 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cups diced sweet onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Liquid Ingredients:
1 canned small chipotle pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped dark chocolate
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can tomato past
2 cups chicken broth
2 - 3 cups water

In large Dutch oven heat 2 tablespoons
olive oil over medium-high heat. In batches
saute beef until browned on all sides. Return
all the meat to pan, lower heat to medium, add
dry seasonings. Stir to coat for 2 minutes.
Add half of the beer and scrap brown bits off
bottom of pan. Add rest of the beer and cook
until beer is almost reduced.

While beef is simmering, add 2 tablespoons
olive oil to a large saute pan over medium-high
heat. Add diced onions, saute 5 minutes. Add
peppers and onions cook 5 minutes. Turn
heat off and rest 5 minutes.

When beer is reduced by half add diced tomatoes
with liquid, tomato paste, chipotle pepper, chocolate
and 2 cups of chicken broth, stir until ingredients are
mixed. Add the onion mixture, stir to mix. Bring to a low
boil for about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup of water, turn heat
to low and simmer for 2 - 3 hours. Stirring occasionally.

After you add all the liquid, while boiling, give a taste of the broth. A word of CAUTION, this is very spicy at this point. However, as it cooks the spicy flavors will mellow. You will need to add more water during cooking time. You want the consistency of a thick soup.

This recipe is a traditional beef chili and is served with no beans. You can add two cans of drained
kidney beans or black bean during the last 30 minutes
if you prefer beans in your chili.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, chives and sour cream. Or just grab a bowl and enjoy!
