Thirty-Minute Beef Chili

COOK TIME

They say there's no better chili than in Texas, but now we can have those same Texas flavors wherever we live. We must admit that we added the tomatoes ourselves, 'cause true Texas chili doesn't ever have tomatoes (or beans, either).

What You'll Need

  • 1 pound lean beef cubed steaks
  • 3 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 box (9 ounces) frozen whole kernel corn, thawed

What to Do

  1. Cut each steak lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
     
  2. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle beef with 2 teaspoons of seasoning mix.
     
  3. In a large deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Stir fry beef and onion 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.
     
  4. Add tomatoes (breaking them up with the back of a spoon), corn, and remaining seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes.
