Heat up the tablespoon of olive oil in pot over medium heat. Once warm, saute the onions and jalapeno for 3 minutes.
Add in the cooked or uncooked steak. If cooked, saute for 2 minutes until warm. If uncooked, saute until the steak is browned.
Add in the garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
If you are cooking the chili on the stove, now you can dump the rest of the ingredients in: Kidney Beans, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, Water, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, Bouillon Cube and Pepper. Bring to a low boil, then turn to low and cover for 1 hour.
If you are cooking the chili in a crockpot, dump the steak, onion, jalapeno and garlic into a crockpot and then add in the rest of the ingredients-: Kidney Beans, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, Water, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, Bouillon Cube and Pepper. Cover on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
Use flour to thicken if necessary*. Top with fresh cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream, etc. You can store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy:)
Notes
If chili is too thin, add in some flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the chili has a thicker consistency.
