Pfft. That ain't chili, it's got beans in it.






J/k. How'd you make it?

Ground Turkey, ground sirloin, chili beans, kidney beans, Pinto beans, celery, onion, green and yellow peppers, with some chili powder, ground coriander, cumin, and garlic. Couldn't add Cayenne peeper because the wife hates anything spicy. Which sucks for me.

We'll eat it for days. Loaded baked potatoes, burgers, dogs, and of course in a bowl with green onion, cheese, and some crushed up Club crackers. :D

I have to do the same thing. Sucks.

Yeah, I add hot sauce to mine but it's not the same. Very pleased with this. I'm admittedly an amateur compared to you guys, so I'm easily pleased. Lol

Let that cook at around 200 for about 5 hours then shredded it. Took everything from the pot, liquefied it in the blender and added it back to the meat.

The flavor was great but the texture was disappointing. Chewy. I'm curious if I cooked it too long, not enough, or if flank steak is just too stringy to be tender when shredded. I've had perfect texture on brisket, but that was sliced (against the grain) rather than pulled apart. I'd experiment with it but flank steak costs almost as much as fuggin ribeye these days.

The only way I've ever had decent luck with flank is in the crock pot.

I love chili, but rarely go all out and make my own. Yeas ago, I bought one of those 2-alarm chili kits - the one where they package all the ingredients separately and you add beef, tomato sauce, and optionally diced tomatoes and beans. I measured all the ingredients and I do that more often than not. Mine is pretty tasty, using better ingredients and homemade chili powder.

No, I roasted them in the oven because the roast was big and there would not be room for them with the potatoes. The carrots would have been mushy if I had PC'd them. The carrots were done but still held their texture. They were actually better this way.

I always brown the roast, then pressure cook it until almost done, open it to add the veggies, then pressure cook for another 10 minutes to cook those.

True story, growing up we use to mix cheap chili from Save-U-Foods with top ramen noodles.

There is no better carrot than a roasted, mushy carrot. :harrumph:

Yep - they're tasty. I've had them in salads, especially a beet salad.

Not on Mother's Day (cause the fiance isn't a mother), but the night before I made skillet seared honey garlic shrimp with roasted broccoli & cauliflower and an Asian red & green cabbage slaw.

Flank steak can be delicious marinated and then grilled to medium-medium rare.

I might argue that it's one of the tastiest cuts on a cow. Far too many people think "tender" means quality, and I simple don't agree. If I did, I'd eat hamburger!

So if you have teeth, I think that med-rare seared flank steak, cut across the grain at a 55-60-degree angle, is a winner every time.
