Chilean Chili





Serves 8
Hearty, tasty and slightly spicy.
Ingredients:
| 3 tablespoons cooking oil | 
| 1 lb. lean round steak, cut into bite-sized strips | 
| 1 cup onion, chopped | 
| 1 cup green bell peppers, chopped | 
| 2 cloves garlic, minced | 
| 1 can kidney beans, with liquid,16 oz. | 
| 2 cups tomatoes, chopped | 
| 1 can tomato sauce, 16 oz. | 
| 1 cup beef broth | 
| 1 can black-eyed peas, 16 oz. | 
| 1 hot chilies | 
| 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped | 
| 1 tablespoon basil, chopped | 
| 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed | 
| 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce | 
| 1 bay leaf | 
| 1 cup niblet corn, fresh or frozen | 
| Salt, to taste | 
| Cheddar cheese, shredded for garnish | 
Directions:
- What better way to pair up a nice mellow Chilean Merlot than with a Chilean chili recipe that is as complex in flavor as the wine itself.
 - In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, heat half of the oil. Brown the meat in the hot oil on all sides.
 - Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain off the fat. Add the remaining oil to the pan, saute the onion, bell pepper and garlic for 3 minutes.
 - Stir in the cooked beef, kidney beans and liquid, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, black-eyed peas, chilies, cilantro, basil, brown sugar, Worcestershire and bay leaf.
 - Bring the mixture to a boil.
 - Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the corn and salt to taste, cooking for 5 minutes more. Remove the bay leaf.
 - Serve in bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese.
