Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Add oil to an oven-safe pot and set over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden but not yet crisp, about 3 minutes.

Season the stew cubes with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the cubes in the flour, shaking off any excess. Add them to the pot and cook in the bacon grease, mixing the bacon with the beef, until the beef is browned on all sides. Pour in 1/2 cup beef broth to deglaze the pan and keep it from sticking.

Add the onion and the garlic to the pot; cook and stir until the onion is just translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, and coriander. Stir to coat the onion and meat with the spices.

Pour in the Guinness; scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomato sauce and the remaining beef broth; season with salt and pepper. Stir, then bring to a boil.
- 5
Transfer to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until the chili is thick and the meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir the stew every 30 minutes to prevent scorching; add a small amount of water or broth if the stew seems too dry.

Garnish each bowl with green onion and cilantro leaves.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
