Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Trim excess fat from the short ribs and cut them into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, celery, and jalapeño into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Short Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the short rib chunks and sear on all sides until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, celery, and jalapeño. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the browned short ribs back into the pot. Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and beer. Stir well.

  4. 6

    Season the Chili

    Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the short ribs are tender.

  6. 8

    Shred the Meat

    After cooking, remove the short ribs from the chili. Shred the meat using two forks and return it to the pot. Stir well.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheddar cheese.
