We have lots of yummy chili recipes on our site, but none include chunks of tender steak. Yesterday morning (yes, you have to touch red meat early in the morning if you want a nice warm dinner when you walk in the door after work- small price to pay, anyway…) I seared some cubes of steaks and then threw them in the slow cooker with some beans, diced tomatoes, peppers and the secret ingredient: fajita seasoning. The fajita seasoning put the Texas in this chili. You can make your own fajita seasoning or just use a tbsp from a packet (which is what we recommend in the actual recipe). Just in case you are really watching your sodium, here’s a fajita seasoning recipe:
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paparika, onion powder, dried oregano, kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander, garlic powder and black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, ground ginger and cayenne
If you are a in a rush and don’t feel dirtying up another dish, skip the step of searing the cubes of steak and just toss it all in that amazing slow cooker. Here’s the recipe link to this No Stress Texas Steak Chili and a picture:
