How to Make Chili Beef Stew
- Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
- Add chopped onion to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Return beef to the pot. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add crushed tomatoes and their liquid, and the chopped green chilies.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender (approximately 45-60 minutes).
- Carefully skim off any excess fat from the surface of the stew.
- Stir in the drained and rinsed kidney beans.
- Continue cooking, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the stew has slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the stew.
- Cook for a few more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
