    Ingredients

    • (1lb) beef round steak, trimmed, cut in 1/2" chunks
    • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 1-1/2 tbsp canola oil, divided
    • 3 medium-size onions, chopped
    • 1 green bell pepper, seeded, pith removed, chopped
    • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, pith removed, chopped
    • 6 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded, finely chopped
    • 2 tbsp ground cumin
    • 2 tbsp chili powder
    • 1 tbsp paprika
    • 2 tsp dried oregano
    • (12 oz) dark or light beer
    • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, (NOT oil-packed), snipped into small pieces
    • 2 bay leaves
    • 3 (19-21 oz) cans dark kidney beans, rinsed
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 2 tbsp lime juice

    Directions

    1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1-1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in half of the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with another 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining beef.
    2. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add in the onions and bell peppers; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes. Add in the garlic, jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, paprika and oregano. Stir until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
    3. Add the beer and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, for about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, bay leaves and reserved beef. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is very tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
    4. Add in the beans; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chili has thickened, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
