Steak Fajita Chili

This is my favorite chili recipe. What I love about this chili is the bell peppers and big chunks of steak!  I found it a year or two ago in the Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine. I forgot to take a picture of all of the ingredients, but you will need these ingredients:

Flank steak (I've used sirloin and t-bone steak), canola or vegetable oil, red, green and yellow bell peppers, onions, tomato sauce, ranch style beans, black beans, petite diced tomatoes, cilantro, ancho chili powder, cumin, fresh like juice, garlic salt and black pepper. For garnish sour cream, tortilla chips and shredded cheese.

Start by heating oil in a large stock pot. Add steak and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add onions and peppers, cook about 5 more minutes.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Garnish with cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips.

You can serve little cheese quesadillas along the side of this!
