SPICY BEEF CHILI



Spicy Beef Chili image

If you like really spicy beef chili, this is a quick and simple recipe to try. I don't include measurements for some of the spices as they should be to taste (the more, the better for me). I taste the chili throughout the simmering process and add more spice as I go.

BEAN-AND-BEEF CHILI



Bean-and-Beef Chili image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, coarsely crushed with your hands
1 3/4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and/or diced avocado, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown in batches, about 4 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chili powder, the oregano and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
  • Return the meat to the pot and stir in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, espresso and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder into the chili. Divide among bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream and/or avocado.
  • Hot:
  • This base recipe is relatively tame; a last-minute hit of chili powder adds just a touch of heat.
  • Hotter:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles to the pot with the tomato paste, then continue as directed.
  • Hottest:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles with the tomato paste and continue as directed, omitting the beans. Stir in 1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos before serving.

AL ROKER'S SPICY BEEF CHILI



Al Roker's Spicy Beef Chili image

"Spicy, meaty and with just the right amount of beans, it's a terrific chili". I made this after watching Al Roker make it on his morning show. My family prefers the more tradional mild ground beef and beans type of chili but I needed a change. It is spicy, but I personally did not find this too spicy. If you are not overpowered by hot italian sausage that has simmered away, then you should be fine. This is the first chili I have eaten more than 1 bowl of. The first I have made using a diced meat. I made this using 45oz. kidney beans per family preference. Simmered an additional 45 minutes before adding the beans. I did find that it took a lot more time than 15 minutes to thicken. Possibly due to the rain here? Much thicker and better on day 2! If it were not for my partners "delicate" palate, I would up the heat a bit. Cooking times were provided by the recipe with the 45 minutes being active cooking time.
