    Sirloin Steak Chunky Chili is a comfort food recipe favourite. Perfect for game day, and any night of the week.

    This Texas-style chili con carne is the ultimate beef chili. Tender chunks of sirloin steak simmered in a dutch oven. Hearty and delicious.

    When it comes to winter, all I want is comfort food. If it fits in a bowl I am happy. We love all the soups, stews, and chili recipes this time of year.

    Red Wine Lamb Stew is a favourite. Guinness Beef Stew is a must for St. Patrick’s Day. Gotta celebrate hubby’s Irish background.

    RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for this beef chili can be found at the bottom of this post.

    Ingredients Needed For This Chili Recipe

    Ingredients to make steak chili.Pin
    • Sirloin Steak – creates tender chunks of meat in your bowl of chili.
    • Onion – white, yellow or even red will work.
    • Garlic
    • Green Bell Peppers – but feel free to use any sweet bell pepper you like.
    • Canned Tomatoes – I used chunky tomatoes with chilies and regular diced canned tomatoes.
    • Red Kidney Beans – but any kidney bean will work. So will black beans.
    • Seasoning – chili powder and cumin are a must for a Texas chili recipe.
    • Oil – Olive oil or avocado is the best.
    • Garnish

    Suggestions/Recipe Tips

    Meat – Sirloin steak can be replaced with another cut of steak. Round steak is a good choice. You can even cut up a small roast. Of course, it can also be made with ground beef, a favourite for classic chili.

    Spices – You can make this as spicy as you like. Add more chili powder or a combination of different chili powders. Jalapenos are a great addition, and red chili flakes will heat things up too.

    Storage – This chili will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge in a covered container. It is freezer friendly too.

    Garnish – So many options to top your bowl of chili. Cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, chopped avocado, green onions, and crumbled nacho chips.

      We can eat chili any time of year but there is no better time when there is a chill in the air. Your chunky chili with peppers looks delicious. So rich and full of meat — Hubby loves his meat. We enjoy trying new recipes — we’ll have to give your chili recipe a try. I’m getting hungry looking at it.
