Move over Jalapeno Beef, in cometh chili!!

  Re: (...)
Today was cool and rainy, chili just fit the bill.
I've been wanting to experiment with my chili.

I loved the sauce that was served with the Jalapeno Beef recipe. I kept taking little spoonfuls to taste...then it doned on me, why not add that to chili!???!

I made the sauce, blended it as in the recipe and added it to the cooked beef! We all have our own recipes for chili (some tried and true, some still a work in progress [me]), so I won't bore you with all the other ingredients; did add cocoa tho. But, I just thought I would let you guys hear about this change! It was a tasty one!

We like chili maybe 2X per year---I have to think about the addition of chocolate, many have raved about it. Now the question---I have a recipe that we absolutely think is the best--how would I incorporate a chocolate taste??? Again--chili is a personal thing and we all come up with our favorite--really curious what that chocolate will do---help please.

Roxanne, The recipe I have uses round steak in the chili. Brown the meat and remove, sweat the onions and garlic, add spices and saute 1 minute, add chili pwdr and unsweetened cocoa and saute 1 minute. Proceede with recipe adding back in beef, tomatoes, etc. I think you could incorporate that into any recipe.

You don't really taste "chocolate" it just adds a good depth of flavor.

I agree,...I added almost 2 Tbsp. of cocoa into mine. It didn't taste chocolately...I don't know, the taste is kind of hard to explain, but good. I'll probably always add some now.

Does anyone have the Jalapeno Beef recipe? I don't remember this one. Perhaps it was before my time here.

Jalapeño Beef with Polenta and Chile Sauce
(Cuisine at home, October 2006, Issue 59, p. 38)


Makes: 4 Cups Beef, 3 Cups Polenta, 11⁄3 Cups Sauce Total Time: 45 Minutes Rating: Easy


Saute, Add, and Puree:
1/2 cup onion, sliced
2 dried chiles, seeded, torn
1 corn tortilla, torn
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 T. vegetable oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 T. fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste

Boil and Fold in:
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup polenta
1 t. kosher salt
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Saute and Add:
1 1/2 lb. top sirloin, cut into 1" cubes
3 red jalapeños, sliced
2 T. vegetable oil
1 T. sugar
2 t. chili powder





Saute onion, chiles, tortilla, and garlic for the sauce in a saute pan in 2 T. oil over medium-high heat. Cook until onion softens, then add broth and tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium, simmer 2 minutes, then transfer sauce to a blender. Puree with lemon juice until smooth. (While blending, leave the top ajar covered with a towel so steam can escape.)Season with salt.

Boil water in a saucepan over medium-high heat; gradually whisk in polenta. Add salt, reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often; fold in cheese. Keep polenta warm off heat.

Saute beef and jalapeños in a saute pan in 2 T. oil over high heat. Cook until beef is browned but rare in the center, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, chili powder, and salt to taste; saute another minute. Serve beef over polenta with chile sauce.
