Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 3 pounds bottom round roast, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 3 large yellow onions, diced
- 2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Spices & Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
Canned Goods
- 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chiles
Liquids
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth, or as needed
Instructions
- Season the beef: Evenly season the ½-inch cubes of bottom round roast with kosher salt and black pepper to enhance the natural beef flavor.
- Brown the beef: Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, locking in juices and developing flavor.
- Sauté the aromatics: Reduce heat to medium-high. In the same skillet, add diced onions and finely diced jalapenos. Cook while stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until they soften slightly, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute to release its fragrance.
- Add spices and main ingredients: Stir in the chili powder and ground cumin to coat the aromatics evenly. Then add the undrained diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed black beans and kidney beans, chopped green chiles, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer the chili: Reduce the heat to low and allow the chili to cook gently for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This slow simmer helps tenderize the beef thoroughly and meld the flavors together for a rich, spicy chili.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapenos or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Beef broth amount can be adjusted to reach your preferred chili thickness.
- Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro if desired.
- Slow simmering time can be extended for even more tender meat and deeper flavor.
