Recipe



Heat oil in a large heavy pot; brown sirloin pieces in hot oil over moderate heat in 3 to 4 batches, being careful not to burn meat. Remove browned sirloin with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; set aside while preparing sausage and ground beef. Add sausage, ground beef and onion to pot; cook, stirring frequently to break-up meat and sausage pieces, until ground beef and sausage pieces are browned. Return sirloin pieces to pot; skim off any remaining oil in pot. Add remain-ing ingredients, except beans and garnishes. Bring mixture to a boil over moderate heat; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally and breaking-up tomatoes. About 10 to 15 minutes before end of cooking time, add beans, if desired. Just before serving, discard cinnamon stick pieces, bay leaves, and jalapeno pepper slivers. Skim off any remaining oil from chili. To serve, ladle hot chili into bowls and garnish each serving with desired shredded/grated cheese of choice and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
