Description

This award-winning chili is a masterpiece of slow cooking, featuring tender chunks of round steak and savory ground pork. The recipe uses a unique two-phase method: first building a robust broth with beef and chicken stock, then deepening the flavor with extra tomato sauce, chili powders, and a touch of sweetness. The result is a hearty, complex stew that is perfect for family dinners or potlucks. It offers a satisfying texture with soft vegetables and melt-in-your-mouth meat, balanced by a warm, aromatic spice profile.

Directions

  1. Cut the beef round steak into bite-sized chunks and toss with all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat.
  3. Add the floured beef and ground pork to the pot, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides.
  4. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
  5. Stir in the chopped onion, granulated garlic, beef broth, chicken broth, tomato sauce, ground cumin, drained green chilis, chopped jalapeno, black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of chili powder.
  6. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Uncover the pot and stir in the second can of tomato sauce, 4 tablespoons of chili powder, New Mexico chili powder, additional ground cumin, granulated garlic, Tabasco sauce, and brown sugar.
  9. Simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the beef is very tender and the flavors have melded.
