Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim any excess fat from the brisket and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, bell pepper, and tomato. Mince the garlic and slice the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Brisket

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove the brisket and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Spices

    Stir in cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 6

    Combine with Liquids

    Return the browned brisket to the pot. Add beef broth and tomato sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the brisket is tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Chili

    Ladle the brisket chili into bowls. Top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheese as desired.
