INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 large red bell peppers, chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ to 1 jalapeño chili (depending on your spice level preference), thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ cinnamon stick
- 1 cup beef stock

HOW TO MAKE IT
- Place a 5.5-quart STAUB Dutch oven on the STAUB Multicooker and choose the Browning setting. Set the browning time to 20 minutes and cover to preheat.
- When done preheating, add half the oil, the beef, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl to drain the excess fat.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil along with the peppers and onion and some more salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, jalapeño, oregano, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon stick and cook for another 30 seconds, or until aromatic.
- Choose the Slow Cook High setting and set the time to 2 hours. When preheated, add the cooked beef, stock, tomatoes, and vinegar, and give the chili a good stir. Cover, and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time stir in the beans and corn.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Serve over rice, sprinkled with the cilantro.
