Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 15 pounds boneless short ribs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 pound Mexican chorizo
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 3 (15-ounce) cans fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder blend
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Hot sauce to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal (optional)
  • Your favorite toppings for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion and jalapenos to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add the chorizo and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cumin, and more salt and pepper.
  4. Pour in the beef stock and scrape up any browned bits. Add the short ribs back, along with tomatoes, beans, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
  5. If chili is too soupy, stir in cornmeal and simmer until thickened.

Notes

Serve hot with various toppings like cilantro, cheese, or avocado. Store leftovers in airtight containers.
