Directions

1. Use a dutch oven or tall, heavy pot for this recipe.Cut the chuck roast into bite-sized pieces, then pat it dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. Add the meat and avocado oil to the pot, and cook until browned on all sides.

3. Add the diced onion and peppers, stirring to combine, and let the onion begin to cook down. Add the jalapeño, garlic, and ketchup.

4. Continuing to stir, add the tomatoes and beef bone broth. If you’re using store-bought broth, add gelatin to mimic homemade bone broth thickness. Add chili powder, cumin, and salt, and mix well to combine.

5. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow the chili to cook for about 2 hours or until the steak becomes soft and tender.

6. Then turn up the heat to reduce the excess liquid. This may take up to another hour. 

7. To add a “molé” taste to the chili, add 85% or above dark chocolate. Top with cilantro and a slice of lime.
