Chili with Beef Tips

Chili with Beef Tips

2 lbs beef tips (I bought the beef already diced up, but you can get a roast and dice it yourself)

4 Tbls olive oil 

1 large onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 jalopeno peppers, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4  cup chopped parsley

3 Tbls chili powder

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black ground pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

46 oz tomato juice (I used V8 original)

2 (14 oz) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic

15 oz can tomato sauce

2 (15 oz) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed

1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed

Topping: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, crackers, or corn chips

Add a little oil to a large soup pot and brown the beef tips. Remove from the pan.

Add more oil to the soup pot and add onion, green pepper and jalopeno. Cook about 5 minutes. 

Add the garlic, parsley and cook a few more minutes. 

Add spices and the rest of the ingredients except the toppings.  

Simmer on stove top for 1 1/2 -2 hours until beef is tender, stir frequently.  

If cooking in a crockpot, after browning the beef and cooking the onions, green peppers, jalopenos, garlic and parsley, add all the rest of the ingredients to the crockpot on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours.
