Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds beef chuck cubed into 1-inch cubes, room temperature
  • 2 medium yellow onions diced
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 Tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 28 ounces diced fire-roasted tomatoes with juice
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 15 ounces pinto beans or beans of your choice, drained
  • 15 ounces kidney beans or beans of your choice, drained
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to dutch oven. Pat the surface of the beef dry, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Work in batches, browning 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot if needed. Cook the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste to the pot, stirring to coat the veggies. Cook about 2-3 minutes longer.
  • Add the beef and all remaining ingredients except the beans into the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer 1 ½ – 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the beans of your choice and give everything a stir. Continue cooking for 1 hour, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Notes

Top with cheese, sour cream, corn chips, green onions, sliced avocado, and sliced jalapenos.
