Chili with steak

Tried a chili with steak, and loved the flavour!  Our steak requires a little more cooking than what you get from the store, so I should have allowed more time.  But once it was cooked, yum yum.  :)

~2 lb round steak
4 cloves garlic, chopped
~2 cups chopped onion
2 Tbsp homemade chili powder (from theKitchn)
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp ancho chile powder
1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
1 tsp ground coriander
2 bay leaves
2 tsp dried leaf oregano
3/4 cup Lucky Lager (cheap cooking beer)
~3 cups beef broth
7 cups cooked beans
1 small can corn niblets, drained
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
fresh chopped red onion
chopped pickled jalapenos

Dry steak and season with 1 & 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 3/4 tsp pepper.  Brown steak in 2 batches undisturbed for several minutes then stir to brown evenly.  Remove to plate along with juices.
Heat oil and add onions and garlic with some kosher saltover medium, stirring occasionally until softened & lightly browned.  Add seasonings and cook, stirring, until fragrant, ~2 minutes.
Add beer, turn heat to high until most liquid gone, scraping bottom of pot to loosen browned bits.  Add broth and bring to simmer.
Puree 1 & 1/2 cups beans (maybe more next time) and add to pot along with whole beans and meat with juices.  Simmer until beef is tender (~ 3 hours).  Add water if thickens too much.  Add corn at end.  Add vinegar at end after seasoning.  Garnish servings with red onion & jalapenos.
