ingredients

1 cup salted butter
1 pound filet mignon, cut in 1/4-inch dice
5 pounds ground sirloin
2 cups onion, cut in 1/4-inch dice
1 chile pepper, seeds and veins removed, cut in 1/8-inch dice
1/2 cup Guinness stout
1/4 cup flour
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
4 cups beef stock
1 cup black beans, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained)
1 cup kidney beans, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Garnish

sour cream

chopped fresh cilantro

directions

Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add half the butter. When melted add the filet mignon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned.

Add the ground sirloin and cook until no longer pink. Remove the meat and set aside. Drain off all but 2-3 tablespoons of grease from the pan.

Add the onion and chile pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is soft.

Return the meat to the pan and add the Guinness. Bring to a boil for one minute. Add the flour, stirring constantly for one minute.

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef stock. Stir to mix well. Reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add the black and kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, white pepper, and brown sugar. Let simmer for 30 minutes, uncovered. Stir the chili occasionally.

Add the remaining butter and cheddar cheese. Stir well until the butter is incorporated and the cheese is melted.

Serve hot. Place the Guinness stout and filet mignon chili in individual bowls and garnish with sour cream, onions, bell pepper, cheese, tomatoes, and/or fresh cilantro.

    I've made alot of chili in my life, and this is my favorite recipe. BUT- it was soooo spicy. I used a serrano pepper, and also 1/2 cup of Kashmiri Chili Powder (I'm Indian). I can take spice, but it was too much for me. I added chocolate, some honey and the rest of the bottle of Guinness to tone it down.Next time I'll use a jalepeno pepper instead and also half the amount of the chili powder and taste as I go.

    Love, love, love this chili! You can change it up to whatever you like or don't like, spicy or not. But the steak and ground beef and butter makes this recipe I think. I did use 2 pds of filet mignon to 3 pds of ground chuck and added more beans. Gonna be a staple in our household from now on. Worth the extra steps/time to make it.

    I have personally made this filet chili 5 times. It is by far my go to for intertaining a crow as well as freezer contains and gift giving, with recipe attached. My only variation is if I'm having a spicy crowd, I chop a chippole pepper in adobe sauce with some adobe into it. Otherwise this recipe stands along with my recommendation.Chef Brucie
