Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 to 3 pounds chuck roast, trimmed and cut into bite-sized chunks

Aromatics

  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 to 2 bell peppers or jalapeños, chopped

Tomatoes and Beans

  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Spices

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids and Oils

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chuck Roast: Trim excess fat from your chuck roast and cut it into bite-sized chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper to boost initial flavor.
  2. Brown the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast pieces on all sides until golden brown to lock in juices and add caramelized flavor.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add diced onions, minced garlic, and chopped peppers. Sauté until softened and fragrant, creating a savory flavor base.
  4. Add Spices and Liquids: Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano into the pot, stirring briefly to toast the spices. Pour in crushed tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine all ingredients.
  5. Simmer the Chili: Return the browned chuck roast to the pot, cover, and simmer gently on low heat for at least 2 hours until the meat is tender and flavors meld.
  6. Incorporate the Beans: Stir in the rinsed beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow them to absorb chili flavors without becoming mushy.
  7. Adjust and Serve: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a splash of lime juice for brightness. Serve piping hot with your favorite garnishes and sides.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled chuck roast for juicier, more flavorful meat after slow cooking.
  • Don’t rush browning; properly searing meat and vegetables builds deeper flavor.
  • Simmer slowly and patiently to tenderize the meat and blend flavors.
  • Use fresh spices for maximum aroma and potency.
  • Let the chili rest overnight if possible; reheating enhances flavor development.
