2 medium yellow onions, chopped into 1/4 in. dice
1 shallot, diced fine
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 red bell pepper, diced 1/4 in
1 green bell pepper, diced 1/4 in
1 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon fine-ground instant espresso
1 cup dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

12 ounces dark beer (Guinness recommended)

1
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned thoroughly about 8 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
2
Add sirloin, garlic, onions, shallots, green and red bell peppers and continue to cook for an additional 12 minutes, making sure to thoroughly brown the sirloin and get a good carmelization on the vegetables.
3
Add the tomato paste, espresso, dried seasonings, and sugar. Saute and thoroughly mix over medium heat for 10 minutes.
4
Add beans, stock, tomatoes, beer, and hot peppers and let simmer for one hour over medium-low heat, stirring the mixture every 10 minutes.
5
Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for additional one hour, using the reserved drained tomato juice to thin if needed.
6
Serve hot with the garnish of your choice: cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, etc.
