Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

7
Reduce the heat, and cook, stirring, for about 6 minutes, until the spices form a thick paste on the meat.
8
Add the beer, and cook, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly reduced.
9
Add the reserved onion-pepper mix to the pot, then the tomatoes and beef broth, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
10
Add the beans to the chili and cook just until they are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
