For the chili: 2 pounds beef any steak, beef chuck, or tri tip, cubed 1 pound Mexican ground chorizo cooking Oil 1 onion chopped 3 cloves garlic minced 3 tablespoons chili powder mild to hot 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 tablespoon ground cumin 2 teaspoons dried oregano salt and pepper to taste 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes 2 cups beef broth 6 ounces tomato paste 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1-2 cans pinto beans depending on preference For the cornbread: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup fine-ground cornmeal 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup butter melted 1 large egg 1 cup milk or milk substitute like almond milk 1 cup pepper jack or colby jack cheese shredded 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped 3/4 cup fresh or canned corn 1 large jalapeño diced For the chili: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cubed beef and brown it on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the onions and saute for 3 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring constantly, so it doesn’t burn. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, crumbling it as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes. Remove excess grease if needed. Return the beef to the pot. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together and cook for 2 minutes on a low heat. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1.5 hours, until the beef is really tender. Stir in the pinto beans and cook for an additional 30 minutes. For the cornbread: Preheat oven to 350°F(175°C). Grease a 8×8” casserole dish. In a small bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the butter, egg, and milk. Stir until combined. Add the pepper jack, chives, corn, and diced jalapeños. Fold in until combined. Scoop batter into the casserole dish. Bake for 48-50 minutes, or until golden and set.
