Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dark beer
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the meat with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and smoked paprika. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the chipotle peppers, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and dark beer to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, ensuring the meat is submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 7

After the beef is tender, add the kidney beans and pinto beans. Simmer uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the chili thicken.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices as desired.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, if using. Pair with cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
