FOUR-ALARM RIB-EYE CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the rib-eye and cook until browned all over and the fat has rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the rib-eye to a baking sheet and turn the heat down to medium.
• Add the onions, poblanos, bell peppers, Anaheim peppers, serranos and garlic to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to toast the spices. Next, stir in the tomato paste; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to toast the tomato paste and incorporate it into the vegetables. Deglaze the pot with the lager, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 5 minutes. Add the chipotle puree, crushed tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, corn and the rib-eye. Bring the chili to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes, until the chili has thickened and the rib-eye is very tender. Season with salt to taste. Serve with your favorite toppings.

4 ALARM SALSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add onion, garlic, serrano pepper, picante sauce, yogurt, salt, pepper, and turmeric powder. Stir constantly and steam until the onions caramelize and it becomes like a sauce. Cook on medium uncovered for 5-10 minutes.
• Add the cubes of chicken and 1/2 cup water. Cover the pot and let it steam for 25 minutes. Stir Occasionally so that the chicken doesn't stick to the bottom. Keep the burner on medium-low.
• Now add the celantro and let it steam covered for another 10 minutes on low heat.
• This chicken is best served wrapped in tortilla's. I prefer wheat tortillas but flour is just as good. Have some cream cheese and salsa or sour cream on the side as a dip. You can also try serving the chicken with rice.
