De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Ongeveer 2 min

2. 2

   Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat if desired.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: Getting a good brown crust on the meat develops a deeper flavor for the final chili.

3. 3

   Add the cubed beef chuck steak to the pot and sear on all sides until browned.

   Ongeveer 6 min

4. 4

   Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as it will become bitter.

5. 5

   Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

   Ongeveer 7 min

6. 6

   Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Stir constantly for one minute to toast the spices and coat the meat and vegetables.

   Tip van de kok: Toasting the spices awakens their aromatic oils and enhances their flavor.

7. 7

   Pour in the tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, and salsa verde, stirring to combine everything well.

9. 9

   Pour the beer over the top of the chili mixture. Do not stir.

   Tip van de kok: Allowing the beer to sit on top as it comes to a simmer helps build a distinct layer of flavor.
