TANGY GREEN TOMATO CHILI WITH BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• To Sauté The Vegetables: Heat oil in a large stock pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add garlic, poblano peppers, and jalapeños and continue cooking until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and coriander and stir, breaking meat up with the back of your spoon. Cook until beef is browned, about 5 minutes more.
• To Cook The Beans: Add beans, tomatoes or tomatillos, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add salt and cook another hour. Taste and add more salt as needed; stir in cilantro right before serving.
• To Serve: Ladle chili into bowls and pass garnishes like grated cheese, sliced scallions, and avocado at the table for everyone to garnish their own bowl.

GREEN TOMATO BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Season the steak (pretty heavily) and chop into cubes. Season ground beef also. Set aside.
• In a skillet on medium-high, throw peppers on there to heat up and roast for 10 minutes or until they have dark spots.
• In the meantime, chop up green tomatoes (about 5 large ones) and, if using ripe tomatoes, chop those up also. Once the peppers have started showing dark spots, remove from skillet and throw into food processor, along with the tomatoes and onions.You can add the paprika then to the tomato puree or wait until everything's combined.
• Add the cubed steak to the skillet and sear until it is just pink in the center.
• Throw into crockpot (or wherever you will make the chili).
• Cook seasoned ground beef.
• Add tomato/onion/pepper puree to crockpot (or pot on stove) and mix with steak.
• Finally, add the cooked ground beef.
• Once the contents are hot and have been boiling for 15 minutes, add the beans. If they are not canned, add between 1/2 and 1 cup of water to the pot. This will depend on if you want the chili to be ready quickly or if you want to let it simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. I think that the more you let it simmer, the better it tastes.
