This was one of our most popular delivery dishes during Lockdown, & a more decadent twist on the mince based Chilli Con Carne.  This recipe serves 4.

Whizz in a food processor to a Paste - 1 tbsp of Aleppo Chile Flakes, 2 Garlic Cloves, 1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar, 1 tsp Ground Cumin, and rub into & marinate overnight with 800g of Diced Braising Steak.  Heat some Olive Oil in a large oven proof dish & add 1 chopped White Onion, and soften for a few minutes. Add the Paste & Beef until brown all over.  Add 400g chopped Tomatoes, pinch of Cinnamon & 75ml water & bring to a simmer.  Cover & pop in the oven at 160C for 3hours, stirring regularly, & until the beef is tender enough to be pulled apart.  Add 1/2tbsp of Brown Sugar, 10g grated Dark Chocolate & a tin of Red Kidney Beans & cook for another 20minutes.  Serve with Chopped Coriander, Fresh Red Chillis, Nachos & in my world Banana (its a 70s throwback).
