Pioneer Woman Chuck Roast Chili Ingredients

• 4 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
• 4 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
• 1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
• 8 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons cornmeal (used as a thickener)
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 pounds trimmed boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Crumbled queso fresco, pickled sliced jalapeños, cilantro, and corn chips, for topping (all to taste)

How To Make Pioneer Woman Chili With Chuck Roast

1. Tear the guajillo and ancho chiles into about 1-inch pieces. In a medium saucepan, toast the chiles over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and darkened in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add the onion, garlic, and enough water to cover the ingredients by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chiles are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
3. Transfer the chile mixture to a blender. Add the beef broth, cornmeal, oregano, and cumin. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside.
4. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Toss the beef with salt and pepper in a large bowl. In batches, brown the meat on all sides, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
5. Return all the beef to the pot. Stir in the chile puree. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, and add more broth if needed, until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
6. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, if needed. Serve the chili hot, topped with crumbled queso fresco, pickled jalapeños, cilantro, and corn chips as desired.

Recipe Tips

• Pick Good Beef: Use beef chuck roast with some fat in it. This fat makes the chili taste better as it cooks.
• Use the Right Spices: Use dried chiles for the spice. They make the chili taste great without hiding the taste of the beef.
• No Beans: Don’t put beans in your Texas chili. This keeps the chili focused on the beef flavor.
• Serve with Cornbread: Texas chili goes well with cornbread. The cornbread is great for dipping into the chili. Check this Pioneer Woman Cornbread Recipe
• Cook Slowly: Cook the chili on low heat for a long time. This makes the beef very tender and the chili more flavorful.
