I BBQ the steak and add 1/2 tsp. of sage and about a half cup of dark coffee to this. It's going to rock your world! It's not too spicey and has wonderful flavor. ENJOY!

I modify this just a tiny bit. I add some tequila or red wine near the end. I add a little sage and I BBQ the filet. All said and done, this recepe is fantastic. You will impress all who partake of this meal.

Try this chili recipe — it's SO SO good! A couple notes — we didn't use Filet Mignon, we used Beef Sirloin or something like that — a good cut of meat, but not Filet Mignon. The chunks of steak really do make a difference, I wouldn't skip that part. Other changes we made involve the tomatoes and beans. The recipe didn't call for enough, in our opinion. So instead of 1 cup each of red kidney beans and black beans, we used 2 cans of black beans, 1 can of red kidney beans and 1 can of white kidney beans. The mix of beans was very good, I'd recommend it. And for the tomatoes, instead of what the recipe called for, we used two 6-oz cans tomato paste, and two 28-oz cans of crushed tomatoes. Again, this is a change we'd recommend. The chili is INCREDIBLY filling, very delicious, and goes a long long way. The recipe as it is on the site is 15 servings, with the changes we made, my husband, daughter, and I ate it for four meals on a ski trip out west, and three meals here at home. That's 21 VERY satisfying servings. Hubby and I each supplemented with one slice of whole grain bread, daughter had 2 slices of whole grain bread with butter. We all had an 8-oz glass of milk to go with, and fruit for after. If you like chili, I'd def try this one out. An hour and a half of cooking will serve you for many days, if you are only cooking for a few. We just put the servings in zip lock bags (one for each day) and chucked them in the freezer.

This was one of the best, if not THE best chilis we've ever had!!! Cooked it in the crockpot for about 7 hours instead of stovetop, but it turned out perfectly!!! The filet and ground sirloin together were fab!!!
