This Instant Pot Chili recipe is the BEST! It's simple, and easy, and thanks to the Instapot it's fast! This spicy chili is made with cubed beef and pork, and Rotel tomatoes, and no beans!
Trim off the surface fat, and cube the meat into approximately 3/8" pieces. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, set aside.
Dice the onion, garlic and jalapeno.
Meanwhile, heat your Instant Pot on sear with the lard (or oil). Add the meat to the Instant Pot in batches, browning all sides, and removing to a plate when done.
After the meat has been completely browned and removed from the Instant Pot, add the onion, garlic and jalapeno to your Instant Pot, and using the saute setting, sautee until the onions start to become translucent.
At this point, add the seasonings and tomato paste and sautee for around a minute or until really fragrant and the tomato paste darkens.
Add the browned meat back to the Instant Pot.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. Stir until all is really well combined.
Close and seal the lid. Set to high pressure for 25 minutes with a natural pressure release.
