Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, minced
- 1 bell pepper, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound stew beef, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 cup beer/ale or water
- 3 tablespoons Frontier Co-op No-Beef Broth Powder
- 2 cups tomatoes, crushed
- 1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Smoked Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Organic Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Organic Ground Coriander Seed
- 1 pinch Frontier Co-op® Organic Cayenne
Directions
- In a stockpot over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add minced red onion, pepper and jalapeño. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until onions are translucent and fragrant. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add beef and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until meat is browning.
- In a small bowl, combine ale or water and broth powder. Whisk to dissolve.
- Pour liquid into pot, then add tomatoes and spices. Stir until well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 60 to 90 minutes. Taste and add additional spices if desired.
- The strong ale taste will cook out as the chili cooks longer, so don't skimp on the cooking time.
- If chili is too thick at the end of cooking, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water to thin.
