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.

This is one of Joe Bonanno's most popular firehouse dishes. Choose a chili powder that suits your taste for heat. Leave the pot uncovered during simmering to allow excess water to evaporate and the chili to thicken.

2-BEAN 4-ALARM VEGETARIAN BEER-BASE CHILI



2-Bean 4-Alarm Vegetarian Beer-Base Chili image

The possibilities for this recipe are endless, depending on what kind of beans you like and carnivorous types checking out this recipe who want to use traditional refried beans, or vegetarian and/or fat-free refried beans. I was looking at various vegetarian chili recipes, and was always disappointed with all the non-bean "chunks" I kept picking up with the fork, or thought these chilis were too sweet. Yes, I love veggies but was always grossed out by tomato chunks (in spite of loving tomato sauces and my special tomato soup.) If you want to make this vegi-chili "con corn", a can of 15-oz La Fe corn is the BEST for this recipe, but I wanted to keep the posting simple so I left it out. 1-2 tbsp garlic powder works if you don't have chopped garlic at hand. All kinds of beer suffice for this recipe but I found that Coors Light and Corona really worked the best. All kinds of refried beans can be used-- I like using a can of vegetarian refried pinto beans with chipotles for this recipe, it's what makes it 4-alarm!

7 ALARM CHILI



7 Alarm Chili image

I love the heat associated with chili and when I think chili, I think an immense amount of heat, equally balanced with flavor. This can all be done in a Crock Pot, which is my actual recommendation, but you need to par cook or sear the meats before placing them into the Crock Pot. You'll need a large Crock Pot for this chili, which contains beef chuck, ground beef, hot Italian sausage and bacon, plus canned beans and plenty of hotness from chiles.
