Description
In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high to high heat. Add meat and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the spices; stir until toasted, about 1 minute. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, chiles, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce; season with pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, 6 to 7 minutes.
Add tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Add beer; cook until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in stock. Simmer over low heat until the chili thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in beans. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
