Chili
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 medium white onion (diced)

1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 lb. ribeye meat (ground)
2 tsp. dried ancho chili powder
1 tbsp. chili powder

The Garnish

Short Ribs
Place the flour into a large round bowl. Place the short ribs onto a large plate and season with salt, garlic salt and pepper. Dredge the ribs on both sides with the flour. Over high heat add oil to a large Dutch oven and add the ribs to caramelize on both sides to develop flavors. Add garlic, onion, tomatoes and tomato sauce, and simmer for three to five minutes. Add the beef and vegetable stocks, the beer and bring to simmer. Cover, place heat on low, and cook for 2-½ hours. After the ribs are cooked to tender, remove them from the liquid and place to the side.
Chili
In a large sauce pot add oil, onions, and bell peppers and sauté for three minutes over high heat. Add the ground ribeye meat and season with chili powder, garlic salt, and Kosher salt. Simmer for two minutes then add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beans and the remaining ingredients. Mix well and simmer on low heat for twenty minutes. Shred the short ribs and add to the chili after fifteen minutes.
Serve with garnishes passed separately.
