Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons dry oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound beef chuck or stewing meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup finely chopped white onion
- 1 cup seeded and chopped red bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, grated on rasp or finely minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Frank’s Red Hot Sauce)
- 1 pound ground chuck (80-percent lean)
- 2 tablespoons fine cornmeal
- 1 1/2 cups red wine (recommended: any inexpensive Chianti)
- 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 1 (1 1/2 pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Directions
In a small bowl combine the cumin, chili powder, pumpkin pie spice, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
In a large pot over medium heat add the olive oil, beef cubes and half of the seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, but not cooked through; remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the onions, bell pepper, garlic, tomato paste and hot sauce. Stir and cook until everything turns a dark reddish brown, about 10 minutes. Add the ground beef and sprinkle over the remaining seasoning. Stir and cook until beef is browned then add the reserved beef chunks back to the pot along with the cornmeal, wine, stock, and the squash. Raise the heat until it comes to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover and cook until the beef is tender, about 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover and let the chili cook another 15 minutes, until it is thick and the liquid is reduced.
