Instructions
1
In a large sauce pot, melt ½ cup of the unsalted butter over medium-high heat until hot and bubbling.
2
Carefully add the diced filet mignon and sear until browned on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the filet from the pot and set aside.
3
In the remaining fat in the pot, add the ground sirloin and cook until fully browned and crumbly. Drain off ¾ of the fat, then return the seared filet mignon to the pot.
4
In the same pot, add the diced onions and chili pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
5
Pour in the Guinness stout and bring to a boil, letting it bubble for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
6
Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute to incorporate and thicken the mixture.
7
Add the crushed tomatoes, no-added-salt tomato paste, and low-sodium beef broth, stirring until combined.
8
Reduce heat to a low simmer and mix in the cooked black beans, kidney beans, chili powder, ground cumin, kosher salt, white pepper, and dark brown sugar.
9
Allow the chili to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
10
Just before serving, stir in the remaining ½ cup of butter and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
11
Serve hot and garnish with sour cream, diced red onions, additional cheddar cheese, fresh diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
