Chili Beef Stew
A rich and hearty stew packed with tender beef, sweet corn, and smoky spices — perfect for chilly days or when you’re craving something deeply comforting.
Ingredients
* 3 lbs beef chuck steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
* 20 oz canned diced tomatoes
* 20 oz canned crushed tomatoes
* 2 Tbsp tomato paste
* 4 cups water
* 2 ears corn, cut into quarters
* 3–4 Yukon gold potatoes, diced
* 2–3 carrots, medium diced
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 2 bell peppers, diced
* 5 garlic cloves, minced
* 3 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon beef base (or 1–2 Knorr bouillon cubes)
* 1–2 Tbsp soy sauce, to taste
* 1–2 tsp sugar, to taste
* Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
* All-purpose flour, for dusting
Spice Mix (adjust to taste):
* 3–4 Tbsp smoked paprika
* 2–3 Tbsp chili powder
* 1 Tbsp cumin
* 2 tsp oregano
* 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Instructions
1. Prep the Beef
 * Season beef with kosher salt and lightly dust with flour.
 * In a large pot or pressure cooker, sear the beef over medium heat until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Build the Base
 * In the same pot, add a bit more oil and sauté onions, garlic, and bell peppers until softened.
 * Add the spice mix and toast for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
 * Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 2–3 minutes, letting it caramelize slightly and deepen in color.
3. Combine and Cook
 * Return the beef to the pot. Add diced and crushed tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, water, bouillon base, soy sauce, and sugar.
 * Pressure Cooker Method: Cook on high pressure for 26 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally.
 * Stovetop Method: Simmer covered over low-medium heat for 2–3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the stew has thickened.
4. Finish and Serve
 * Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce.
 * Serve warm with rice, bread, or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
