Introduction

This is a cross between stew and the old familiar chili made the way I remember it from years ago in Dallas. This is a cross between stew and the old familiar chili made the way I remember it from years ago in Dallas.
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1 lb beef sirloin -cut in bite size pieces
    0.5 cup Wondra flour
    1/4 cup canola oil
    1 packet of Chili seasoning
    0.5 cup red wine
    1-14.5oz can petite diced tomatoes
    2-15oz kidney beans rinsed and drained
    1/2 large onion diced
    2 large carrots diced
    1 bell pepper diced

Tips

This works well as a crockpot meal, once the whole mixture is ready to simmer. Try it on low for 8-10 hours.
The wine is optional, and you can certainly cut down on the flour and oil to save calories.
We serve this chili with crusty bread and sometimes a side salad.


Directions

Mix the Wondra flour with a tablespoon of the chili seasoning mix and set aside -- use this to dredge the meat prior to browning.

Dice the fresh vegetables (carrots, onion and bell pepper)

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, dredge in flour mixture and brown in half of the canola oil, drain and set aside.

Use the wine and some water to deglaze the pot, make sure to scrape up any little bits of the meat from browning!

Drain the wine/water into a bowl and set aside.

Put the remainder of the canola oil into the pot, add the diced onion, carrots and green pepper, cook just long enough to "sweat" them and let them begin to soften. Then, lower the heat as you add ingredients.

Add the can of diced tomatoes and stir.
Add the meat back into the pot, stir.
Add the wine/water back into the pot, then add the remaining flour with chili seasoning mix and the remaining chili seasoning still in the package.
Drain and rinse the kidney beans, add these to the pot, stir.

Now, add water (I usually rinse all the cans and throw that tap water into the pot, in all it is at least 2 cups or more of water) stir to combine all ingredients.

Cover and set the heat to LOW and let this "stew" cook slowly for another 2-3 hours. Eat whenever you're hungry -- the aroma will draw you in!
