Cowboy Steak Chili in a Crock Pot,While searching for an authentic Texas Style Chili, I discovered this recipe from There are so many chili recipes with many variations for all types of taste buds, but this one really knocked my socks off. While the chili recipe above will stand up even if all you add is chili powder, this mix will give it more complex depth of flavor. The idea comes from Cowboy Steak, where the essential Cowboy element is ground coffee. Was this the result of a creative campfire cook. Or some happy chuck wagon mistake? You can also use this seasoning to make Cowboy Steak. If you do, it is traditional to add onion powder and garlic powder to the mix. You may want to mix up enough to use later as a dry rub for ribs or chops or even chicken. If you do, bloom the mixture just before using. The only change I made was to cook the chili for 8 hours on low in the crock pot before serving. I truly believe that one of the secrets to good chili is a looooooonnnnngggg cooking time. YEEHAA,When do you add in the rest of the seasoning or is it just to coat the steak?,We really enjoyed this recipe. I had a lb. of round steak, a lb. of chorizo, and bacon on hand. The only changes made were: only 1 tsp cumin, because we dont care for it much, 7 oz can green chilis due to size I had, Belgian style ale, instant coffee granules. It had such a nice, rich flavor. It wasnt too hot for my hubby, who sometimes accuses me of trying to kill him with hot peppers. I let it cook all afternoon, I think about 6 to 7 hrs. It was perfect. Ill definitely make it again.
