Pam’s Chili

Made this chili from Barefoot Contessa and it was AMAZING!!!I cooked it in a 300 degree oven instead of on the stovetop.  I used a half a cup of decaf espresso for the strong coffee and had the butcher cube my brisket.   I used about 4.25 lbs of brisket.

Transfer the brisket to a separate bowl and set aside. Saute the onion and garlic in the same oil over medium heat until limp, but not brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder, pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and cumin and saute for 1 minute. Add the green peppers, bay leaf, tomatoeswith their juice, the reserved meat, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, to taste. Add the coffee, cover the pot and simmer for 1 more hour.
