Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless rib-eye, excess fat trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
1 cup finely diced seeded poblano pepper
3/4 cup finely diced seeded red bell pepper
1/2 cup finely diced seeded Anaheim pepper
1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper with seeds
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
One 12-ounce bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon pureed chipotles in adobo
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen yellow corn kernels
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Shredded Cheddar
Thinly sliced scallions
Cilantro leaves
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the rib-eye and cook until browned all over and the fat has rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the rib-eye to a baking sheet and turn the heat down to medium.
  • Add the onions, poblanos, bell peppers, Anaheim peppers, serranos and garlic to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to toast the spices. Next, stir in the tomato paste; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to toast the tomato paste and incorporate it into the vegetables. Deglaze the pot with the lager, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Add the chipotle puree, crushed tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, corn and the rib-eye. Bring the chili to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes, until the chili has thickened and the rib-eye is very tender. Season with salt to taste. Serve with your favorite toppings.

FOUR ALARM CHILI



Four Alarm Chili image

Everyone has their own chili recipe or a variation of someone else's. Heck, there are probably already TWO on this site that could be just like this one. I have been making this chili for more than 25 years. The ingredients have been tweaked here and there over the years until I found just the right flavor and this is it! All I know is when I make a pot of this chili, there are never any leftovers. Like any recipe, if you leave out or change an ingredient, it doesn't come out the same way. Try it this way, then go ahead and create your own version. If you like your chili really hot, instead of hot sauce use Recipe #88224. But most of all just ENJOY IT!

MICAH'S 4 1/2-ALARM CHILI



Micah's 4 1/2-Alarm Chili image

This is my sweet and spicy chili. Enough people have asked for the recipe that I decided to post it here! This makes a pretty big batch of chili. You can always halve the ingredients. Also, I probably make it a little bit differently each time, so it's no biggie if the ingredients aren't an exact match. I think that the chili is best when it has a few days to really combine the flavors.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly affect the flavor of your salsa. Choose tomatoes that are plump, juicy, and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. You can roast tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: The type of chili peppers you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use mild chili peppers, such as Anaheim or poblano peppers. For a medium-hot salsa, use medium-hot chili peppers, such as serrano or jalapeño peppers. For a hot salsa, use hot chili peppers, such as habanero or cayenne peppers.
  • Don't overcook your salsa: Overcooked salsa will lose its fresh flavor and become watery. Simmer your salsa for just long enough to allow the flavors to meld, usually about 15 minutes.
  • Season your salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a splash of vinegar to brighten the flavor of your salsa.

Conclusion:

This Four-Alarm Firehouse Salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh, roasted tomatoes, a variety of chili peppers, and a blend of spices. This salsa is sure to please everyone, from mild to hot salsa lovers.
