Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef chuck
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons Garlic (diced)
- 1 cup Diced yellow or white onion
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 ground cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (Spanish)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cups Tomatoes (crushed)
- 2 (15 ounces) canned red kidney beans

- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons masa harina (or corn tortilla flour)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup red onions (diced)
Instructions
- The beef chuck should be cut into half-inch cubes.
- A large pot or Dutch oven should contain 3 tablespoons of oil. The oil should be heated on high.
- The onion and garlic should be cooked for two minutes in the pot. The heat should be reduced to medium-high, then the beef cubes should be added. Make sure you stir the meat constantly while it is browning.
- Immediately after the meat has browned slightly (without showing any red), lower the heat to medium.
- In a large bowl, combine Italian seasonings, vinegar, smoked paprika, diced jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, tomatoes, beans, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Be sure to mix well.
- Adding corn tortilla flour (or masa harina) will thicken the chili after simmering for about 10 minutes.
- The chili should thicken after 10 more minutes of cooking.
- Serve with your favorite sides.
