Ingredients

  • 1 lb organic grass-fed beef
  • 1 large red onion diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder I prefer cayenne-free
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp unrefined sea salt
  • 2 cups beef bone broth
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 1 can kidney beans 540mL/19 oz
  • 1 can black beans 540mL/19 oz
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 796mL/28 oz
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free tamari
  • 1 tsp honey

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh parsley
  • Cubed avocado
  • Soy-free vegenaise sour cream alternative
  • Rosemary Cashew Cheese sour cream alternative

Instructions

  • If using your Instant Pot, turn on the saute options and add the avocado oil, beef, onion, pepper, garlic, spices, and sea salt. Brown beef, breaking it up with a spoon until cooked through. If using a crockpot, saute same ingredients in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to your Instant Pot, and set to manual pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. If using a crockpot, add beef mixture and remaining ingredients to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release.
  • If you prefer a thicker chili, combine 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (or gluten-free flour) with 1 tablespoon of chili liquid in a small bowl. Mix well and add to chili. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Serve with any optional toppings and my Paleo Tortilla Chips.
