Preparation
1. To a Dutch oven or stockpot, add butter and a drizzle of olive oil and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add beef and chorizo and brown, crumbling with a wooden spoon or potato masher.
2. Drain meat mixture.
3. Return meat to pot and add onion and jalapeno. Reduce heat to MED and sauté for 2 minutes, until onion and jalapeño soften. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
4. Pour in beer and use wooden spoon to scrape bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let beer cook 30 seconds or so.
