Beef Chilli Recipe

When it’s cold outside, this Texas Beef Chilli recipe with steak (instead of mince) is just the ticket. You can make this on the hob or in the oven.  The longer and slower the meat is cooked, the more tender and spicy the final dish will be. We served ours with a side of cornbread, chopped coriander and a dollop of sour cream.
