Step 1

Cut steak into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Fry the steak in two separate batches: Use 1 tablespoon of oil per batch. After steak is browned, pour steak and oil into a paper towel-lined bowl. Repeat with second batch of steak and pour into bowl. Pour whiskey into the empty pot and add the beef. Cook for about 7 minutes, until the whiskey reduces. Pour whiskey and steak into a bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Add remaining cooking oil to pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until they soften. Add hot peppers and cook for two minutes. Add red bell pepper and cook for another couple of minutes.

Step 4

Add tomatoes, beans, and chicken broth. Add in spices, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce, adding more of any if desired.

Step 5

Add steak in whiskey. Cook on low for up to an hour, allowing steak to tenderize. Add more water during cooking, if chili gets dry or too thick.

Step 6

Serve with plenty of delicious chili toppings.
