Notes

NOTES:
Hatch Chili Note: See my Hatch Chilies Post to learn how to make your own Hatch Chili Sauce.
Steak Note:
  1. You can grill or sear and bake the steak, or even cube it and stir-fry it in a skillet – you want it to be medium rare when you add it to the chili. This will keep it from being tough.
  2. Feel free to substitute the steak with a pound of ground beef if desired, or increase the ground pork and bison/beef to 1 ½ pounds each.
