Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 pieces jalapeños, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2.5 pounds ground beef 85% lean
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3 ounces tomato paste
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef stock more for thinner consistency

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil, onions, and jalapeños to a large Dutch oven (or soup pot) on medium heat and cook and stir regularly until the onions are translucent about 6-8 minutes.
  • Then add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Now add in the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Break apart the beef but leave some bigger chunks. Cook for 8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. (If there is an excess of grease in the pot, you can drain some off at this point.)
  • Add in the spices: chili powder, cumin, oregano, and coriander, and stir well, cook for about 1 minute.
  • Mix in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and beef broth and bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour), stirring occasionally.
  • The chili is done when the beef broth is reduced and it takes on a thick chili consistency.
  • Enjoy with your favorite toppings: cheese, sour cream, diced red onion, chopped green onion, jarred diced jalapenos, fresh diced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, salsa, or salsa verde.

Notes

This recipe collects grease because of the 85% lean beef. Remove excess grease after cooking if you prefer less fat.
