Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lb stewing beef (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil (divided)
1 large onion (minced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 stalks celery (minced)
5.5 ounce can tomato paste
3 tablespoons chili powder (see notes)
1 teaspoon EACH: oregano and cumin
3 cups beef bone broth (see notes)
28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons honey
14 ounce can kidney beans (drained and rinsed (omit for paleo chili))

Steps:

  • Dry the beef well with paper towels then sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and brown well on 2 sides. Remove it from the pan and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil as needed. Remove the second batch of browned beef from the pot.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the onion and cook until it is soft and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and celery and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Push the veggies to the side of the pan and add the tomato paste. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes sweet smelling. Add the chili powder, oregano, and cumin to the pot and mix.
  • Pour the beef broth into the pot and scrape the bottom of the pot with your mixing spoon to remove any of the dark stuck on bits. Add the crushed tomatoes, honey, and browned beef and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Very gently simmer the steak chili for 2 hours. (See notes)
  • Just before serving, add the beans and let them warm. Season to taste with salt.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lime, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1 1/2- to 2-pound flank steak
Vegetable oil, for the grill

Steps:

  • Grate the zest of 1 lime; cut the lime in half. Combine zest with the chili powder, brown sugar, thyme, cumin, chipotle powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Squeeze the zested lime over the steak and use the lime halves to rub the juice into the meat. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steak. Let stand at room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the steak until well browned, about 8 minutes. Flip and grill until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F, 5 to 7 more minutes for medium rare (the thinner edges of the steak will be cooked to medium).
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Season with salt and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Flank Steak: Select a flank steak with good marbling for extra flavor and tenderness.
  • Tenderize the Steak: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to tenderize the flank steak, breaking down the tough fibers and making it more palatable.
  • Use a Flavorful Marinade: The marinade is key to infusing the steak with bold flavors. Experiment with different combinations of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a unique marinade.
  • Don't Overcook the Steak: Flank steak is a lean cut that cooks quickly. Overcooking can make it tough and dry. Aim for a medium-rare or medium doneness to preserve its juiciness and tenderness.
  • Let the Steak Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
  • Slice Against the Grain: When slicing the steak, cut against the grain to break down the muscle fibers and create more tender slices.

Conclusion:

This cumin-chili spiced flank steak recipe is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The combination of cumin, chili powder, and other spices creates a savory and aromatic marinade that infuses the steak with bold flavors. The steak is cooked to perfection, achieving a tender and juicy interior with a slightly charred exterior.
