Fall has officially arrived here in Ohio – the leaves are turning beautiful shades of rust, brown and gold, but the temperature seems to want to hold steady in the low 80’s. I’ve been totally disregarding the uncharacteristically warm weather by cooking and baking some of my fall favorites. Though I will say it’s a bit odd to have the aroma of pumpkin bread being wafted through my house with aid of the central air.

This week’s Holiday Recipe Exchange is centered around one-pot meals. Think hearty stews, soups, casseroles and of course – chili. And what better vessel to prepare these one pot meals than a gorgeous Le Creuset French Oven?

I have had a sticky note flagging this recipe for Prime Rib Chili for about a year now. There was just something about a homemade chili powder and the use of Prime Rib that caught my eye. And seriously, what sounds like more of a man pleasing, football watching meal than a hearty chili made with Prime Rib?

This chili takes a little bit of time to prepare and is also not the cheapest one in my chili repertoire, but in my opinion, it is worth the splurge – especially if you catch a good sale on Prime Rib.

This chili is also sans the beans – which I totally caught Brian digging for in his bowl, but we both agreed they certainly weren’t missed. If beans are a must-have in your chili, I’m betting you can cut back on the Prime Rib and toss in a can of kidney beans.

The one thing I wouldn’t skimp in this recipe is the homemade chili powder – it was incredible and super easy. I just gave everything a quick whirl in my Magic Bullet and I was ready to go in a few minutes. Let it be known – this chili certainly has some kick. We found the level of spice and heat to be just perfect, but if you’re not fond of the heat, I’d definitely cut back on the chipotle peppers in adobo.


We want to know what your favorite One Pot Meal is – so follow the directions below for linking your best One Pot Meal. You’ll have a chance to win one of two gorgeous 3 1/2 Quart Round Le Creuset French Ovens – in the color of your choice. Remember, you don’t need a blog to participate!

Prime Rib Chili Recipe | My Baking Addiction (2)

SavePinPrint

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds cubed beef prime rib
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • 5 garlic cloves peeled and halved
  • 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo chopped*
  • ½ cup Chili Powder see recipe, below
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 28- ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon grated unsweetened chocolate

Instructions

For the Chili Powder

  • Seed and hand-tear 2 ancho chiles (these are dried pablano peppers). Toast chile pieces and 2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, shaking the skillet so they don't scorch. Put the chiles and coriander seeds in a blender and pulse until you have a fine powder. Add 2 tablespoons purchased chili powder, 2 tablespoons sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Process until well combined and you have a fine powder. Stir in 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 months.

For the Chili

  • 1. Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Set a large, French Oven over medium-high heat and add in extra-virgin olive oil. When the pot is very hot, add the beef and stir until brown.

  • 2. Add in the onion, garlic, and chipotle peppers. Stir in chili powder. Stir in tomato paste and the entire can of tomatoes with their liquid into the pot. Stir in chocolate.

  • 3. Add enough water to just cover the meat and simmer over medium-low to low heat, uncovered, until the meat is forktender, about 2 hours.

  • 4. When the meat is forktender, use a slotted spoon to remove the beef to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the beef into pieces and return it to the pot. At this point, taste the chili and season with salt and black pepper. Continue simmering for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

- Chile peppers are HOT, so wear gloves when preparing them for this chili. Be sure to keep your hands away from your face. Wash hands thoroughly after prepping the peppers.

- This chili is spicy – if you are fond of heat, you’ll want to cut back on the chipotle peppers in adobo.

- If you think the chili to too thick, gradually add in a little water until you reach the desired consistency.

- I have not tried this recipe with another chili powder; therefore I cannot comment as to how it will turn out.

- I found my dried ancho chiles near the fresh peppers at my local grocery store.

How do restaurants make prime rib so tender? ›

How do restaurants make prime rib so tender? The secret to restaurant-style prime rib is cooking the meat super slow at low temperatures. I recommend cooking prime rib at no higher than 200 degrees F. This cooks the meat very slowly, turning the fat into butter and rendering the proteins juicy and soft.

What is the best temperature to cook a prime rib roast? ›

Brown the roast at 500°F (or as high as your oven will go) for 15 minutes. Lower the oven to 325°F to finish roasting: Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Roast in the oven until the thermometer registers 115°F for rare or 120° for medium rare, and 130°F for medium.

What is chili called without beans? ›

No bean chili, also known as Texas chili or Chile con carne, is a spicy stew made without any beans. It traditionally contains meat (usually ground beef), tomatoes, peppers, onions, aromatics and flavorful spices.

What spices to add to chili? ›

Most Common Chili Spices. Cumin, Chile Powders, and Paprika are the most common spices in chili followed by garlic, onion, coriander, Mexican oregano, and bay leaves. These ingredients can be combined to create a savory and well-balanced pot of top notch comfort food.

Is chili better without beans? ›

The comparison can (and has) been made that chili without beans is really just a meat sauce, like a spicier Italian-style sauce you would serve over spaghetti. Chili with beans is much more substantial and can stand better by itself, some say.

What can I do with the bones from prime rib? ›

And don't forget to use those bones. If your prime rib came bone-in, save 'em, roast 'em, and turn 'em into spectacular bone broth. You can use it to make soups or just as an on-its-own sipper that'll keep you feeling warm and cozy all winter long.

How do you reheat prime rib without making it tough? ›

Reheat it in a steamer

Giving the meat a quick steam session is a nice, gentle way to warm up sliced prime rib. To make it happen, grab a steamer basket (or a plate and some tin foil, or an aluminum pie plate), put it in a pot with a few tablespoons of water in the bottom, and bring the liquid to a simmer.

What is the most important thing to do before roasting a prime rib roast? ›

Look for a well-marbled and bone-in Prime Rib roast for the best flavor and tenderness. Bring the Meat to Room Temperature: Remove the Prime Rib from the refrigerator at least 1-2 hours before cooking. Letting it come to room temperature ensures more even cooking.

What gives prime rib its flavor? ›

Marbling is the streaks of intramuscular fat that run through the meat. The more marbled your meat, the juicier, more flavorful, and tender it'll be. Buying "Prime" graded beef is a good guarantee of this fat content, though it's possible to find ungraded beef with plenty of marbling as well.

What should I put on my prime rib before cooking? ›

Mix garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme together in a small bowl. Place roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. Spread mixture over the top of roast; let roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.

How many hours does it take to cook a prime rib? ›

Cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the prime rib registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, 35 to 45 minutes of cooking time per pound. An 8-pound roast will take about 5 1/2 to 6 hours.
