Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 pounds chuck roast, cut into cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
20 ounces beer
One 14-ounce can whole tomatoes
3 guajillo chiles
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
3/4 cup masa
Four 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Four 15-ounce cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Pico de gallo, sour cream and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pot and sear the chuck roast until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pot, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then return the chuck roast back to the pot with the beer and tomatoes.
  • Using scissors, snip the guajillo chiles into small strips. Add to the mixture and bring to a boil. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano and 2 tablespoons salt, then reduce to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  • Mix the masa with enough water to form a paste, then add it to the pot. Add the pinto and kidney beans and cook until the chili thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Serve with fixings such as pico de gallo, sour cream and lime wedges.

Provided by Katy Greenwood

Categories     Main course

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra if needed
400g diced stewing beef
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1-2 tbsp chipotle paste (or gluten-free alternative), depending on how spicy you like it
400g can kidney bean in chilli sauce
400g can chopped tomato
1 lime, zested and cut into wedges
¼ small pack coriander, leaves only
cooked rice, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the beef pieces for a few mins on each side until browned all over. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the pan, with extra oil if needed, and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin and chipotle paste, and cook for 1 min. Sieve the kidney beans, reserving the sauce. Add this sauce, along with the chopped tomatoes and a can full of water, to the pan. Stir well, then return the meat to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then cook, covered, for 2 hrs or until the beef is tender (or bake in the oven for 3 hrs at 160C/140C fan/gas 3).
  • Add the reserved kidney beans and lime zest, season and warm through. Serve with a scattering of coriander leaves, the lime wedges to squeeze over, and rice, if you like.

Tips:

  • For a deeper flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water. You can also add a splash of red wine or beer to the pot for extra richness.
  • To make your chili more hearty, add in some cornbread crumbs or crushed tortilla chips. You can also top your chili with shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced avocado.
  • If you like your chili spicy, add in some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper. You can also use a spicier type of chili powder, such as ancho chili powder or chipotle chili powder.
  • For a more complex flavor, add in some cumin, oregano, or paprika. You can also add in some chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh flavor.
  • If you're short on time, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You can also use canned beans instead of dried beans to save time.
