Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Prep the Brisket:
Cut the brisket into 2-inch cubes (or your preferred size) and toss with sea salt and paprika. Set aside.
  2. Brown the Brisket:
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the brisket in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Sear each batch for 1-2 minutes until a nice brown crust forms. Remove the brisket and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables:
In the same pot, add the diced onion and green pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add Spices & Garlic:
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne (if using), and salt. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Combine Ingredients:
Add the beans, green chiles, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
  6. Add Broth:
Mix the Bare Bones broth packet with 2 cups warm water, then pour it into the pot. Stir everything together.
  7. Simmer:
Bring the chili to a simmer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. The brisket should be tender and falling apart.
  8. Serve:
Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, like sour cream, cilantro, and cheese.

Notes

If you want a richer flavor, feel free to sear the brisket in batches and let each batch get a deep caramelized crust.

Adjust the heat level by varying the cayenne and chili powder to your liking.

You can also make this chili in the instant pot. The stovetop is my preferred method because the stewing for a couple hours lends to a better flavor and texture.

Use the saute button on the instant pot and follow the instructions above. After you add all the ingredients lock the lid in place and hit “manual” and cook on high for 40 minutes.

Let the valve release on its own and then serve when ready.
