Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat, cut into ½ inch chunks
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 jalapeños seeded and diced
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce seeded and finely chopped
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef stock or broth
- 2 bay leaves
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Season the beef with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat and brown half of the meat. Repeat with remaining beef. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat 30 seconds. Add the jalapeno peppers and onions and saute for about 10 minutes onions are softened. (Do not brown them).
- Stir in garlic and seasoning mix and cook 30 seconds or just until fragrant.
- Add the beef back into the pot along with remaining ingredients.
- Bring the chili to a boil and then turn the heat down to low.
- Simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 3 ½ hours stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick. If it becomes too thick, add more stock as needed.
- Before serving remove the bay leaves and serve plain or covered with sour cream, shredded cheese, or green onions.

Notes
- If you want to add additional heat, add more chipotle peppers or chipotle chili powder to taste. While cooking the meat in the chili should slightly shred - this is normal.
