This cold weather is killing me lately. Goodness…Georgia is not equipped for this chilly weather. When the weather cools down, I crave chili.
I hope I’m not the only person who feels that way. I feel like chili helps to warm the soul and keeps you from freezing your tushy off.
Why is chili so comforting? I always seem to crave it when it’s either cold out or I’m not feeling very good. Isn’t that interesting?
What makes this steak chili different from other ones is that you use flat iron steak instead of ground beef. Why? Because it comes out amazingly tender and tastes so much better than ground beef (in my opinion).
And while the cooking time is a little longer than when you use ground beef, it’s worth the extra time…just trust me on that!
Are you still on the fence with buying an Instant Pot? This guide is great to help you decide in the Instant Pot is a great investment.
And making it in the Instant Pot really means that you can have a one-pot meal (who doesn’t love that?) plus it’s fairly quick to throw everything into the Instant Pot and let it do the work.
If you are interested in additional Instant Pot recipes, I highly suggest trying the chicken enchiladas recipe or the low-carb mu shu pork tacos recipe.
It might take a while to cook at pressure, but the steak will come out incredibly tender and the chili is so flavorful.
Gosh…I love one pot meals, and making them in the Instant Pot is even better. I love being able to throw everything into the Instant Pot, lock the lid and walk away while it gets to pressure and cooks. It’s wonderful.
Now, it might take a bit longer for this one to get up to pressure and cook, but it’s worth it!

This recipe is well worth the calories, but it’s hard to tell where those calories come from. The steak probably is the culprit, but I’m not sure if that is correct or not.
The nutrition says this is 948 calories per serving which I am pretty sure can’t be right, haha! But it sounds delicious and I am going to try it this week!
