Instructions

Step one

In a large Dutch Oven heat vegetable oil over medium heat.  Season the cubed meat with salt and pepper.  Brown the meat in small batches for about 10 minutes, making sure all sides are browned and careful not to over crowd your pan.  Set browned meat aside.

Step two

Add to the pot onions, garlic, bell pepper and jalapeno, cook for 8 minutes.  Add cumin, chili powder, chipotle pepper and stir.  Cook for 5 minutes.

Step three

Add browned meat back to the pot with the onion mixture.  Add corn, crushed tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, tomato paste and beer.  Season with salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and cover.

Step four

Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally while simmering.

Step five

Serve with garnishes and lime wedges.
