Preheat the Dutch Oven

Pre-Preparation

Build your fire to maintain 350-375 and hang your Dutch oven over it to preheat it. Check out my book, Food x Fire, for tips on how to build and maintain fires.

Step 1

Make the Chipotle Paste

Toast the peppers on all sides for 2-3 minutes to char. Add the water and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the chile peppers become soft and rehydrated. Strain the ingredients from the dutch oven reserving 1/4 cup water and other ingredients.  Remove the stems and de-seed the chile peppers. Add all the ingredients to a food processor along with the ¼ cup of reserved water. Blend until smooth then set aside.

Step 2

Brown the beef

Season and oil the chuck cubes and brown on all sides in the Dutch oven.  Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.  Deglaze the pan with the beer.

Step 3

Add the broth

Add your beef bone broth, chile paste, and all the beef chuck cubes.

Step 4

Simmer

Add more bone broth if it does not cover the beef cubes in the dutch oven.  Next, cover the dutch oven and let simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is fork tender.

Step 5

Serve

Once the chili is ready, pull off and serve into a bowl.  Garnish with cotija cheese, chopped scallions. Serve & enjoy!
