Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 2 medium, diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 15 oz, drained and rinsed canned kidney beans
- 15 oz, drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 3 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) sour cream
- 1 cup (optional, for serving) shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Trim any excess fat off the beef sirloin steak and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the pot and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1 minute or until fragrant.
Return the seared steak to the pot. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, fajita seasoning, beef broth, tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or fajita seasoning if needed.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
