2 1/2 pounds chuck roast, cut into cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 cloves garlic, minced
20 ounces beer
One 14-ounce can whole tomatoes

SLOW-COOKER ROLLED BEEF CHILI



Slow-Cooker Rolled Beef Chili image

This dish is inspired by a classic Texas chili that calls for chunks of beef (not ground) and no beans.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 14-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles
1 large poblano pepper, seeded and diced
3 6-inch corn tortillas
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 flank steak (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen fire-roasted corn

Steps:

  • Whisk the chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, the tomatoes and poblano in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Tear 1 tortilla into pieces and add to the slow cooker. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a small bowl. Toss the cheese with 1/4 cup cilantro in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • Butterfly the steak: Put the steak on a cutting board with the short end facing you, then slice in half horizontally, with your knife parallel to the board, without cutting all the way through; open like a book. (If your steak is less than 1/2 inch thick to begin with, do not butterfly; instead, lightly pound the steak with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick.) Season with salt, pepper and the chili powder-cumin mixture.
  • Press the cheese mixture over the steak in an even layer and arrange the remaining 2 whole tortillas in the center, overlapping slightly if needed. Starting with a long side, roll up the steak into a tight log. Tie with kitchen twine in 1 1/2-inch intervals, then tuck in the ends and tie lengthwise to keep the ends in place. Nestle the steak roll in the slow cooker and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender and the sauce is bubbling, 7 hours.
  • Remove the steak roll to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes. Stir the corn into the slow cooker, cover and continue to cook on low until heated through, about 5 minutes, then stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Untie the steak and thinly slice. Serve with the sauce.

SLOW COOKER CHILI



Slow Cooker Chili image

A great chili should be richly spiced, with layers of deep, savory flavor. Here, that big flavor comes from the usual contenders, but also from the unexpected additions of unsweetened cocoa, soy sauce and Worcestershire, which provide complexity. This recipe makes a thick, comforting chili that can be prepared in a slow cooker or in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Chili is perhaps the ideal slow-cooker dish because its flavor improves with a long, slow simmer. This makes a big batch, perfect for a cold-weather get-together, but if you're making it for a smaller group, the leftovers freeze well.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 pounds ground beef, 80 percent lean, 20 percent fat
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) pilsner beer, such as Modelo Especial
1 (14-ounce) can diced or crushed tomatoes in juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons beef stock bouillon paste, such as Better Than Bouillon
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 (14-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 (14-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Hot sauce, grated sharp Cheddar, sliced scallions, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the beef and garlic, season with salt and cook, breaking the beef into crumbles with a spatula, until the beef has lost its pink color, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened and caramelized, about 1 minute. Stir in all the spices and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beer and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  • Transfer the beef mixture into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, beef bouillon paste, cocoa, beans and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. (The chili can hold well on warm for an additional 2 hours.)
  • When ready to serve, stir in the Worcestershire sauce. If the chili is too thick, stir in a bit of water until the texture is to your liking. Season to taste with salt. Serve in bowls and pass the toppings at the table.
