One Pot Texas Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the beef cubes in the oil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the garlic.
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin and flour. Sprinkle over the meat and stir until evenly coated. Crumble the oregano over the meat and pour in 1 1/2 cans of the broth.
• Add the salt and ground black pepper, stir together well, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer, partially covered for about 90 minutes. Pour in remaining broth and simmer 30 minutes more, until meat begins to fall apart. Cool, cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325° F.
• Pat beef dry. Rub salt into beef. In 5-quart ovenproof Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Brown beef in two batches, in a single layer without moving, 5 to 7 minutes, then turn to opposite side and brown 5 to 7 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer to medium bowl.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to Dutch oven, and melt. Add onion and bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Stir in serrano chile, garlic, cumin and coriander; cook 30 seconds. Stir in beef, tomatoes, water and chipotle chiles; heat to simmering.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together cornmeal, lime juice and brown sugar. Stir into beef mixture in Dutch oven. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until beef is tender.
• Top individual servings with cheese; serve with yogurt or sour cream and cilantro.

Steps:

• Toast dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and blistered, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove stem and seeds; discard. Transfer chiles to a large measuring cup or bowl, and cover with hot water. Keep chiles submerged with a small bowl, and let soak for 30 minutes. Remove from water, and puree in a blender with 1/2 cup soaking liquid.
• Heat a large heavy pot over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Season beef with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Brown beef in batches, adding more oil as needed, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil, the onions, garlic, and minced chiles to pot, and cook over medium-high heat until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. (If the pan gets too dark, add a little water, and scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze.) Add cumin and oregano, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Stir in browned beef and chile puree. Add tomato puree, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently, partially covered, until meat is very tender and juices are thick, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. (Check pot once an hour for excessive evaporation; if chili seems dry, add a little water.) Season chili with salt, and stir in vinegar. Serve immediately (or refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months; reheat in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally).
