Plenty of spices, plenty of meat, a can of beer, what's not to love? Thanks to the deep flavors of chili and cocoa powder, dark beers work especially well for this rich stew. A little melted cheese on top is never a bad idea.

ingredients
2 pounds boneless cross-rib steak
1 pound boneless pork
2 tablespoons oil, divided
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, slivered
2 1/2 cups beef stock
1 can (12 ounce size) beer

2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Garnish
1 cup diced green bell pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
directions
Cut off any excess fat on the meat. Cut the meat into 3/4-inch cubes.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and pork and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain the grease from the saucepan.
Add the remaining oil, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, coriander and cayenne to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until soft and coated in the spices.
Add the browned meat back to the pan. Mix well.
Stir in the beef stock, beer, tomato paste, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well. Bring the stew to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Stir the stew occasionally.
Serve the beef and pork chili stew hot with bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro as garnish.

Wonderfully hearty stew
October 12, 2016
A real gourmet type of chili! I used Sam Adams as the beer ingredient. The result was a rich, dark, and lustrous sauce that was unique in flavor and excellent. Note: There's not much to this except for the meat and sauce. I would maybe serve it over rice next time or an appropriate side dish.
