Steak Chili

This is why I started the blog.  I found a chili recipe I loved, made it once or twice a year for the past 3 years, but when asked to make Chili for the Stake Party, I couldn't find it so I searched till I found this one. I tried it and I like it a lot, but it isn't exactly the same.  I was in a hurry so instead of cutting up steak I bought Carne Piccada, and I really liked it, will look for it again.

Original Recipe Yield 6 to 7 servings  

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 pounds steak - cut into 1 inch cubes

2 onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 green chile pepper (I used a jalapeno)

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper

2 (29 ounce) cans diced tomatoes(I read wrong and used two 15 ounce cans seasoned for chili, I think it was plenty)

1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained(I used chili beans)

Directions

In a large pot over medium high heat, combine the oil and steak and saute for about 5 minutes, or until steak is browned. Add the onions, garlic and chile pepper and saute for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.

Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, tomatoes and kidney beans. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about one hour. Remove cover and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until you've reached your desired thickness. ( I did the first part the way they said but I was in a hurry and had to leave the house so I put it all in the crock pot on high when I came back in 3 hours it was perfect).
