Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Ghee (olive, avocado or beef tallow)
  • 1 lb. Sirloin steak I love sirloin steak for this, but "stew beef" is fine as well. Cut into 1/2"-3/4" cubes
  • 1 lb. Chorizo Good quality chorizo (Not the big Tube)
  • 1 cup Onion diced
  • 1 Bell pepper chopped
  • 2 Jalapenos diced (seeded if want to cut back on heat). May use 1 small can of green chilis if no jalapeno.
  • 3 large Garlic cloves minced
  • 1.5 cups beef broth low sodium
  • 2 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes drained
  • 4 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp. Taco Seasoning Low Sodium or Homemade
  • ¾ Tbsp. Chili powder
  • ¾ tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Add cubed steak to pre-heated pot or Dutch oven on high. Brown the steak on all sides
  • Remove steak and then add the chorizo to the pot and brown it as well.
  • Remove the chorizo from the pot and then add ghee or oil. Add the onion, peppers and cook until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Then add the broth, scrape the pan (I use a wooden spoon) and then add remaining ingredients.
  • Return all the meat to the pot along with all of the spices. Get it to a simmer.
  • Once it starts simmering cover the pot and let it simmer for 1 hour.
  • Uncover and simmer another 30 minutes or thickened to your liking.
