Preparation facts

Servings: 8

Yield: 12 cups (2.8L)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (270g) pinto beans, dried

5 1/2 cups (1.3L) water

1 lb (455g) round steak, trimmed, cut into 1inch (3cm) pieces

2 1/2 Tbs (20g) chilli powder

1 Tbs (7g) cumin (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)

1 tsp (6g) salt

1 tsp (2g) cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups (270g) onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

3 1/2 cups (840mL) tomato sauce, (one 29-ounce can)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

Rinse beans thoroughly and sort through to remove dirt. In a large Dutch oven, cover beans and water, and heat to a boil. Boil for two minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and bake in oven until beef and beans are tender, about 4 hours. Remove from oven and stir.

Serve with light sour cream and chopped green onions.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
