Notes
Choose chuck steak or another well-marbled cut for tender, flavorful chili. Sear the steak before adding the remaining ingredients to develop a deeper flavor. Simmer gently until the steak is fork-tender. Adjust the chili powder and spices to suit your preferred heat level. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little beef broth. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered until it reaches your desired consistency.
