Method

Work through each step in order. Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so it thickens without splitting.

1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.

3

Stir in the chili powder and cumin, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

4

Add the diced tomatoes with their juice and the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Stir in the kidney beans and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
