Spicy Steak Chili Ingredients
Beef: I chose to use bottom round roast for this recipe. I love the large cubes of beef in this chili. You could use ground beef in this recipe if you prefer, but you may want to omit or reduce the amount of olive oil used.
Jalapeno peppers: You have some control over the spiciness of the jalapenos you choose. The older the pepper, the spicier it will be. Looking at a pepper, the older ones will have stress marks, like little white lines or flecks on the flesh. The younger (less spicy) peppers will have clear shiny flesh.
Onions: I used yellow onions for this recipe, but you could definitely use white onions if that’s what you have on hand.
How to Store
Spicy Steak Chili leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. You could also store in the freezer for up to six months. If freezing, be sure to use a freezer-safe container that is labeled and dated.
