Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 cups Beef stock
- 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Season the beef generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the seared beef to the pot. Stir in the beef stock, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer gently for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 90 minutes, remove the lid and stir in the white vinegar and chopped dark chocolate. Let the chili simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the beef becomes tender.
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve hot with garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
