Easy Steak Chili

Ingredients

To whip up this delightful steak chili, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into small cubes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or jalapeños

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious steak chili:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Return the browned steak to the pot. Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, and stir everything together until well combined.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Feel free to simmer longer for a more robust flavor!
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a spicier chili, add additional chili powder or diced jalapeños.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite garnishes such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or even more jalapeños.

This Easy Steak Chili is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug in a bowl. Perfect for any day of the week, it’s quick to make and even quicker to disappear! Enjoy!
