Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them 1-2 minutes per side to get a nice brown crust on them. Do this in batches, if needed. Remove the short ribs and set on to a plate.
  2. Add the onion and jalapeno peppers. Cook 5 minutes to soften.
  3. Add the garlic and Mexican chorizo. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking up the chorizo, until the chorizo is mostly cooked through.
  4. Stir in the chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute to let the spices bloom.
  5. Add the beef stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the reserved short ribs, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours, or until the short ribs are melt-in-your-mouth tender. You may need longer.
  8. If the chili is too soupy, stir in corn meal and simmer to thicken.
  9. Serve into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Instead of beef stock, consider substituting dark beer with some beef bouillon.
