Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 lbs chuck roast, cut into bite-sized chunks

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Liquids

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Spices & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Brown the Chuck Roast: Cut the chuck roast into bite-sized chunks, pat them dry, then season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and brown the meat in batches, creating a flavorful crust that seals in juices.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Remove the browned beef and add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, building a delicious base for the chili.
  3. Add Spices and Liquids: Return the chuck roast to the pot. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well to coat the meat evenly. Pour in diced tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Simmer Until Tender: Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to infuse flavors and tenderize the chuck roast.
  5. Add Beans and Final Seasoning: Stir in drained kidney beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or chili powder if needed. Let flavors meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use quality chuck roast with good marbling for juicy, tender meat after slow cooking.
  • Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure proper searing.
  • Simmer slowly on low heat to develop deep flavors and tenderize the meat perfectly.
  • Allow the chili to rest off heat for 10 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
  • Customize the spice level by starting mild and adding fresh chopped chilies or hot sauce as desired.
