Ingredients

1 pound Beef Round, cut into 1/2-inch chunks OR 1 pound Ground Chuck

Salt and freshly Ground Pepper to taste

1 1/2 T Canola Oil, divided

3 Onions, chopped

1 Green Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped

1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped

6 cloves Garlic, minced

2 Jalepeno Peppers, seeded and finely chopped

2 T ground Cumin

2 T Chili Powder

1 T Paprika

2 t dried Oregano

12 oz. dark or light Beer

1 28 oz. can diced Tomatoes

8 sun-dried Tomatoes (dried, not oil-packed), snipped into small pieces

2 Bay Leaves

4 15 oz. cans Kidney Beans, rinsed

1/4 C chopped fresh Cilantro

2 T Lime Juice

Directions

Season beef with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 1/2 t of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add half the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with another 1 1/2 t oil and remaining beef.

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 1/2 t oil to the pot. Add onions and bell peppers; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes.

Add garlic, jalepenos, cumin, chili powder, paprika and oregano. Stir until aromatic, about 2 minutes.

Add beer and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, for about 3 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, bay leaves and reserved beef. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Add beans; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chili has thickened, 30 to 45 minutes.

Remove bay leaves. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
