Picky PC's Paleo Chili



I love trying new things, but PC, as we know, is the picky one. I decided to try out the Paleo diet and convinced PC to do it with me. So, I will be making a lot of meals geared towards him so that he will be happy. Some of these ingredients are not typical of chili, but it is the only chili he will eat.



Here is what you will need for this recipe.


Cut up the meat and add chili powder, salt, and pepper to the meat and give it a good rub. Add your diced onions, mushrooms, and garlic and let sit with the meat for a bit.



Begin to heat your oil in a pan. Once heated, add your meat mixture to the pan and let the meat brown. 


Once the meat is browned, add your tomatoes, broth, and spices. Give it a good stir, cover, and let simmer for an hour and a half. 


Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients
1.5 pounds of skirt steak
3 (14.5 oz) cans of no salt added diced tomatoes, undrained

3 tablespoons of chili powder
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of thyme
1 teaspoon of cayenne
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
