Sous Vide Essentials Make Ahead Beef For Chili Recipes

COLD WEATHER ESSENTIALS: AWESOME QUICK CHILI

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. To make this recipe, you will need a medium-sized soup pot (cast iron sounds good).
• 3. There are essentially three ways that you could make this recipe: 1. You could follow all the steps, not add the beef, and have meatless chili. Trust me, this chili is good with or without meat. 2. You could follow all the steps, add your own, uncooked beef, and simmer for about 2 hours, until the beef cubes get tender. 3. You could add the precooked beef (from my recipe), let it warm through and go for it in about 30 quick minutes
• 4. Here is the recipe I am using for the precooked beef. You can make it days, weeks, even months ahead of time, throw it in the freezer, and pull out when needed. I have over a dozen of these in my walk-in; along with packets of precooked chicken and pork, and other stuff. Using this method, you are not sacrificing one scintilla of flavor. But you are saving a ton of time. Here is the recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/sous-vide-essentials-make-ahead-beef-for.html?r=1
