Guinness for Strength

Now that Fall is officially here, what else is there to make on a nice cold night other than CHILI! My Stumpy version is a little more premium than Hormel’s, thanks to a little Irish addition of Guiness Beer. It’s a chili that will warm anyone’s tummy, now get cooking!

Stumpy’s Premium Guinness Chili

  • 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite size chunks
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 can of Guinness
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 large 28oz cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed

You’re going to start by heating the oil in large heavy stockpot over medium heat. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper and mix well. Next, toss the sirloin cubes on flour to coat, then place the floured steak into the heated pot and brown the steak on all sides, which should take about 5 minutes. Then remove the meat from the pot and put it onto a plate.

Add a little more oil to the pan and dump in the onions, which you’ll cook until they’re softened. Then add the peppers and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes. Add the Worcestershire Sauce, chili powder, cumin, and oregano, and then add the steak back to the pot.

Now pour in the Guiness and beef broth and bring it all to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This would be a good time to start drinking one of the other three cans of Guinness, but don’t drink too much, since each can is a meal in itself.

Once 45 minutes have gone by, add the crushed tomatoes and cook for 20 minutes more. Then stir in the beans and gently simmer for another 10 minutes. Scoop out your servings, add on some grated cheese (pepper jack is recommended), some sour cream, a few sliced jalepenos for a spicy garnish, and you’re goodness, you’re Guinness to go!

    just wait until HIS bachelor party - if he ever gets the balls to ask her - someone’s going to loose more than a jacket! (hopefully)

    if you rent one of those party busses… - beware… - make sure you’re sitting down at all times…

    when i lived in florida… - one of my friends rented one of those busses for the night… - open bar… - lights… - a big ass screen in the back where a projector on the ceiling would project images onto… - a shit load of drunk people… - including me…

    towards the end of the night i was standing up in front of the big screen while we were parked… - when the driver started moving i totally fell backwards into the screen and cracked the fuck out of the plastic… - so… - again… - beware… - especially if your driver is high and forgets to tell everyone to sit down before he starts moving…

    stupid joints…

    fuck’n miami…
