This recipe was originally created by my father when I was a child. He started experimenting with spices like Cocoa and Cinnamon and how they are used in Central and South America. With a love for Chili and a passion to make authentic dishes, this recipe was born. Growing up, I started helping him make it. With a few tweaks along the way, it has been my go-to chili recipe ever since.

Steps

1 hr 30 mins

1

Cut steak into thin pieces and place in a gallon ziploc bag. Add the lime/orange wedges and the marinade mixture to the bag, and set in fridge for up to 24 hrs. I've done as low as 2 hrs and it worked out ok, but the longer the better in my opinion. Pull it out and bring it to room temperature before cooking.
2

You can make this multiple different ways, from a crock pot to a dutch oven over a fire. The methods are still the same.
3

Brown the marinaded steak on medium/high heat until you don't see pink.
4

Add in the chopped onion and cook until they are slightly soft
5

In a large pot add the meat, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and half of a beer. Stir in the spices and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat until it is just simmering. Salt and pepper to taste.
6

Cover and let simmer for 1hr 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve and enjoy, or....

One of the secrets to making chili even better is to make it the day before. When it rests in the fridge, it allows all the flavors to blend. That is why I believe leftover chili is always better. It is an added step, and sometimes my family can't wait that long, but it could be the thing that will send you to a first place spot in a chili competition.
