Ingredients

• 2 pounds sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the sirloin steak and cut it into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch).

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sirloin cubes to the pot in batches, searing them on all sides until browned. Remove the seared pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pot and incorporate all ingredients.

Step 8

Return the browned sirloin cubes to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the chili cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

After 60 minutes, stir in the kidney beans, black beans, and optional corn kernels. Continue simmering for another 20 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.

Step 11

Taste the chili and adjust seasonings (add more salt or chili powder if desired).

Step 12

Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite bread, crackers, or tortilla chips on the side.
