Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 Medium Skillet
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 ounces dried wild mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Season beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
  • Brown the beef in the pot, working in batches if necessary, and then remove from the pot.
  • In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onion, and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, and oregano, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Return the beef to the pot and add beef broth and diced tomatoes.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, and reduce heat to low.
  • In a separate bowl, soak dried wild mushrooms in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes, then drain and chop.
  • Add the mushrooms to the pot and stir well.
  • Continue to cook the chili for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour with a bit of water to form a paste and then stir it into the chili to thicken.
  • Add apple cider vinegar, stir, and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure to stir the chili occasionally while it simmers to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. If you prefer a spicier dish, consider adding more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Allowing the chili to rest helps the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
