cook vegetables first then add meat, or other way around?

Hi so I'm planning on making chilli but I'm coming across 2 schools of thoughts when cooking the dish. first one is to cook the meat until fully cooked to leave a maillard reaction on the bottom of the pan, chuck the veg/beans/add tomatoes puree and chopped tomatoes, spice and finish with stock. second one is to cook the veggies until translucent, add the spices and tomato puree (to bring out more flavour of spice and veg), then the meat until browned, beans, chopped tomatoes and finally topped off with stock. So for the best results, should I choose one of the methods, or should I cook the meat and vegs separately and combine them into the meat pan to deglaze it with the stock afterwards? thank you! submitted by /u/Subject-Cranberry603 [link] [comments]
