Beef Beer Chili. Forget ground beef, this recipe braises diced sirloin steak in a spicy beer and tomato sauce for an incredible, hearty version of chili con carne.
Today’s recipe for beer chili is a special request for a reader who has previously sampled and enjoyed this chilli. It’s a pretty basic chili recipe but is heavy on the beans and uses diced beef instead of ground beef which we’ve always liked better. We also like lots of cumin in our chilli and often add even more than this recipe calls for but you can adjust it to suit your taste.

Really tasty chili. My favourite recipe. I use a scotch bonnet chili instead of jalapeno and honey ale instead of beer. Delicious!
