Number Of Ingredients 28

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon worcestershire
14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
1 shallots, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 ribs celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces tomato paste
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the chili. Heat the oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the beef, stirring often, until it has begun to brown at the edges. Using a slotted spoon, transfer browned meat to a bowl.
  • Pour off excess fat, turn heat down to medium and return the browned beef to the skillet or pot. Add salt, peppers, chile powder, turmeric, oregano and cumin, and stir to combine. Add steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce and diced tomatoes, and stir again. Cover the skillet or pot, and cook, stirring a few times, for 15 minutes or so.
  • Make the gumbo. Place a large pot with a heavy bottom over medium heat, and put the butter and oil into it. When the butter is melted and foaming, sprinkle the flour into the pan, and whisk to combine. Continue whisking until the mixture is golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Add the onion, shallots, bell peppers, celery and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have started to soften, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Make the chili gumbo. Add the beef mixture to the pot with the vegetables along with the tomato paste, tomato sauce, tomato juice and ketchup, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 45 minutes, then add apple-cider vinegar and hot sauce to taste. Take the pot off the heat, and serve, or allow to cool and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to cure. Heat before serving.
