How to make Quick Steak and White Bean Chili

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 8 oz ground sirloin (or finely diced sirloin) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked steak aside.
2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add 0.5 diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 0.5 tsp dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. Return the cooked steak to the pot. Add the 15 oz rinsed and drained cannellini beans, 4 oz undrained diced green chilies, 1.5 cups chicken broth, and 14.5 oz undrained diced tomatoes.
5. Stir to combine all ingredients, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Remove the chili from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
7. Ladle the hot chili into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl generously with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 0.5 diced avocado, and a dollop of 1 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving.
