Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Active: 40 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds beef chuck roast, at room temperature for 1 hour
  2. 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, at room temperature for 1 hour
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 2 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
  5. 1 large onion, cut into a 1/2-inch dice
  6. 1 poblano pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
  7. 1/4 cup chili powder
  8. 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  9. 2 teaspoons paprika
  10. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  11. 1/4 cup tomato paste
  12. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  13. One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
  14. 1 cup beef broth
  15. 2 pounds fresh (Mexican-style) chorizo, meat removed from the casings and broken into small pieces
  16. Serving suggestions: sour cream, shredded Cheddar and chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® on the saute setting until the display reads “hot” (see Cook’s Note). Sprinkle the chuck roast and pork shoulder all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot, then add the chuck roast and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a sheet pan or large plate.
  2. Add more oil to the pot, if necessary, and repeat the process with the pork shoulder, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside with the beef.  
  3. Add the onion and poblano to the pot along with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, with a wooden spoon and scraping the browned meaty bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and cook, stirring to evenly distribute and heat the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and garlic and continue to cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and beef broth and stir to combine, scraping the bottom with your spoon. Turn the pot off. 
  4. Cut the chuck and pork shoulder into 3/4-inch pieces. Add to the pot along with the chorizo and stir to combine. Follow the manufacturer’s guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer’s guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Stir the chili and serve with toppings such as sour cream, shredded Cheddar and chopped cilantro.

For those who asked:
Firstly, drain the grease from the chorizo if it’s too much for you.
All keto chili recipes I’ve researched have somewhere between 6.5 to 8.5 grams net carbs per serving. I imagine this one will be around 8g.
Substitute the canola oil for lard, bacon fat, olive oil, or sunflower oil. This will lower the carbs a little more, so you can add more cheese, or a fathead roll!
Delicious chili!

I have never added chorizo to chili and it was great. Drain the fat if needed.

I love to cook. First time using chorizo. You have to try this!!! It’s outstanding!!!

I don’t have an Instant Pot so I made this in my Dutch Oven on the stovetop.  I cut the beef and pork in chunks before browning and then I used ground hot Italian sausage instead of Chorizo.  I browned the sausage separately and then added it to the pot in order to drain the grease first.  Also, I used fire roasted tomatoes which added another level of flavor.   Delicious!!!!!

My family liked the recipe quite a bit! Will definitely make again!

I do not understand how no one has mentioned how greasy this recipe is once complete? I took a full 16oz can of grease out of this recipe. Not a winner.

Looks good

Outstanding flavor!
I used 1 lb ground beef instead of chuck, and upped pork shoulder to 2lbs; I seared the meats in my cast iron skillet first, and browned chorizo in skillet as well; otherwise recipe made as written.
Fantastic flavor!

Canola oil has zero carbs…
