Instructions
How to Make the Chili in an Electric Pressure Cooker
- Press the Saute setting, and set for 30 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and let it heat.
- Season the stew meat with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- When the monitor reads ‘HOT,’ add the stew meat to the electric pressure cooker.
- Sear until the beef is very browned, then remove it from the pan.
- Add the other tablespoon of oil, and throw in the onions and garlic. Saute them until soft, about 3-5 minutes, then add the salt, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, oregano, chipotle pepper, red chili flakes and cinnamon. Add the tomato paste, too.
- Stir the veggies and spices around the pan until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the stock to deglaze the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan until all the browned bits have released, and the stock has reduced by half.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Add back in the beef, too.
- Carefully place on the lid, and seal. Press ‘Pressure Cook’ and set to 45 minutes.
- When the electric pressure cooker finishes its cook, let the pressure naturally release, then let out any remaining pressure through the Quick Release and remove the lid.
- Stir the Texas chili with a wooden spoon, and serve with your favorite toppings.
How to Make the Chili on the Stovetop
- Heat a Dutch oven over high heat on the stovetop. Add1 tablespoon of the oil, and let it heat.
- Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- When the the oil is hot, add the stew meat.
- Sear until the beef is very browned, and then remove it from the pan.
- Add the other tablespoon of oil, and throw in the onions and garlic. Saute them until soft, about 3-5 minutes, then add the salt, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, oregano, chipotle pepper, red chili flakes and cinnamon. Add the tomato paste, too.
- Stir the veggies and spices around the pan until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the stock to deglaze the pan. (You can use ½ cup less in this method if you'd like a thicker chili.) Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan until all the browned bits have released, and the stock has reduced by half.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Add back in the beef, too.
- Lower the heat to the lowest setting, and cover. Simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- When the beef is ready, serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you're feeding people who are sensitive to spice, add ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle or leave it out entirely. It adds smoky flavor that also packs in the heat.
