    Ingredients Needed For This Chili Recipe

    Ingredients to make steak chili.
    • 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
    A bowl of chili with steak.

    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.

        I love the heat in chili too. You can do this without a slow cooker….and I do sometimes. The reason I LOVE slow cookers is that on really busy days I can just put dinner in and forget it….until I want to eat of course!! ENJOY and thanks for stopping by.

      I love a big bowl of hearty chili… the spicier the better. I like to grate aged cheddar on top and scoop the chili with tortilla chips. Your recipe looks delicious.

      Oh yes. I totally agree. Cornbread is a MUST with homemade chili. And camping. The best thing ever is camping with a pot of homemade chili and a skillet of cornbread just as the peak season turns to Fall. So cozy. So delicious. So good.

      I’m in for anything that requires a slow cooker! And I’m a big fan of chili made with steak instead of mince — yum! And spicy too? You are speaking my language. Looks great.
