Wagyu Beef Chili Verde Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Wagyu beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 cups tomatillos, husked and chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2-3 green chilies (jalapeño or poblano), chopped
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Choosing the Right Ingredients

For the best results, choose high-quality Wagyu beef and fresh, firm tomatillos. Opt for poblano or jalapeño peppers based on your spice preference, and use homemade or low-sodium beef broth to control the salt content.

Method:

1. Sear the Wagyu:
   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the Wagyu beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and chopped green chilies, sautéing for another 2 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   Return the seared Wagyu to the pot. Add the chopped tomatillos, cumin, beef broth, and black beans. Stir well to combine.
4. Simmer the Chili:
   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the Wagyu is tender and the flavors have melded together.
5. Serve:
   Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas or over rice.
