HERE IS MY LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/jakatak COOKING WITH JACK MERCH: https://jakatak-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/cooking-with-jack Grace’s “Social Media Slayer” Chili 🌶🔥 A layered, smoky, beef-forward chili that tastes like it cooked for two days. Protein Strategy (this is key) Using two cuts of beef gives the chili insane texture. • 1 lb 80/20 ground chuck • 1 lb beef chuck roast, cut into small ½-inch cubes This gives you meaty bites + chili body. Ingredients Base • 2 lbs beef (above) • 1 large onion, diced • 1 red bell pepper, diced • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tbsp tomato paste • 1 (28 oz) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes Beans (optional but crowd friendly) • 1 can dark kidney beans • 1 can pinto beans Liquid • 1 cup beef broth • ½ cup dark beer (stout or porter) The Championship Spice Blend • 2 tbsp chili powder • 1 tbsp ancho chili powder • 2 tsp cumin • 1 tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp cilantro • ½ tsp black pepper • ½ tsp Mexican oregano The Secret Weapons These make judges say “why is this so good?” • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder • 1 tsp instant espresso powder • 1 tsp fish sauce • 1 tsp brown sugar • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar You will NOT taste these individually. They just deepen everything. Add: • 1 strip bacon fat or chopped bacon It adds smokiness that feels like the chili cooked over a fire. Cooking Method (this is where most chili fails) 1. Brown the meat HARD In a Dutch oven. Cook the chuck cubes first until browned. Remove. Brown the ground beef until slightly crispy. This creates flavor fond. 2. Build the base Add: • onion • pepper • garlic Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook 2 minutes. 3. Bloom the spices Add all spices and cook 30 seconds. This wakes them up. 4. Build the chili Add: • tomatoes • beer • beef broth • browned meat Stir well. 5. Add the secret weapons Add: • cocoa • espresso • fish sauce • brown sugar Simmer 45–60 minutes uncovered. 6. Finish Add: • beans • vinegar Simmer another 20 minutes. Salt to taste. Texture Trick (very important) Take 1 cup of chili, blend it, and stir it back in. This makes the chili thick and silky like competition chili. The Final Move Right before serving add: • small squeeze lime • sprinkle fresh cilantro Toppings (for the video) • shredded cheddar • diced red onion • sour cream • tortilla strips What Makes This Beat Most Chili 1. Two beef textures 2. Layered chili powders 3. Umami boosters 4. Beer depth 5. Proper spice blooming Most home chili is just meat + chili powder + tomatoes. This one has depth.
