by Shelia Lukins, its awesome! It's set up by occasion like Easter, Vday, Mother's Day... so this recipe for Chili came from the "Superbowl" section. It's called El Cid Chili and its Amazing!
It doesn't call for any beans or extras; just the meat, tomatoes and spices. Add some shredded cheese and green onion on top and you are ready for these "Houston Snow Flurries".
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound ground beef
12 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed, cut into 1/2 cubes ( I used sausage not chorizo)
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 (14.5-ounce) cans beef broth
2 (14.5-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, drained
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 cinnamon stick
3 bay leaves
2 green jalapenos, slit lengthwise 3 times each
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish with Cheddar and sour cream, if desired
Directions:
Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Brown the sirloin in batches. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
Add ground beef, chorizo (or sausage- I'm not brave enough for chorizo) and onions to the pot and brown. Make sure to break up the meat. Return sirloin to the pot.
Stir in remaining ingredients, except for garnishes.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally, breaking up tomatoes. Before serving, discard cinnamon stick, bay leaves and jalapenos.
Garnish, if desired
Oh, mercy, that looks delicious!!! I need to get myself a dutch oven like yours. :) Thanks for the visit today! Hope you'll stop by Serenity Now again soon. :)
