Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless short ribs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 jalapeño peppers (chopped)
  • 6 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 pound Mexican chicken sausage
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 3 cans fire-roasted tomatoes (15 ounces each)
  • 1 can black beans (15 ounces, drained)
  • 1 can red kidney beans (15 ounces, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder blend
  • Optional: cornmeal or crushed tortillas for thickening

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper and sear until browned on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté chopped onions and jalapeños for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add garlic and chicken sausage; cook until sausage is mostly cooked through.
  4. Stir in chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for an additional minute.
  5. Pour in beef stock while scraping up browned bits from the pot.
  6. Return short ribs to the pot along with fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and hot sauce; stir to combine.
  7. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least two hours or longer for more tenderness.
  8. If desired, thicken chili by stirring in cornmeal or crushed tortillas.
