Instructions
Equipment
EGGspander Multi-Level Rack
Big Green Egg Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Big Green Egg Pecan Smoking Chips
Method
Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 275°F/135°C with pecan smoking chunks. Place the Dutch oven in the EGG to preheat.
Mix the Classic Steakhouse Seasoning and beef thoroughly in a bowl and form into a ball and set aside.
In the Dutch oven, add the olive oil and cook the onion, jalapeno and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes. Once the onion mixture is ready, add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper and sauce, cumin, Big Green Egg Ancho Ancho Chili & Coffee Seasoning, cayenne pepper, and chili powder. Mix all the ingredients together.
Add the EGGspander Multi-Level Rack to the EGG and place the ball of beef on the grid directly above the Dutch oven. Cook until the internal temperature of the meat hits 150°F, about 2 hours. Remove the meat from the EGG and break into small pieces. Add the beef and the beans to the Dutch oven and cook for another 30 minutes or until the beans are heated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Top with Fritos, sour cream and shredded cheese. Enjoy!
I loved this recipe. The final result is awesome.
Every time I cook this chili, I always get great comments.
Yes, if you watch the video, they show that.
How many quarts (approximately) will this recipe make?
I am assuming that the beef ball is placed above the Dutch oven so the drippings of the beef ball fall into an open Dutch oven?
I’m assuming the beef broth gets added with the tomatoes and spices? Thanks!
