Más Carne Por Favor - Carne Asada

In general I cook very little red meat of any kind. I tend to stick to white fish, shrimp or chicken. But, I’m thinking that’s a bit boring and I need to push my culinary boundaries. So here’s a dish that involves some round steak. This particular recipe is one that my mother picked up in Texas and was one of my favorites growing up.

Carne Asada

Ingredients

* Round steak (I usually use between 1.25 to 1.5 lbs.) cut into I inch strips
* 2 or 3 jalapenos, seeded and sliced
*1 onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic minced
* 1 tsp. cumin
* 2- 14.5 oz. cans Mexican style diced tomatoes
* (14 oz.) can tomato sauce

 Directions

Sauté onion and steak until browned. Add garlic, cumin, jalapenos, tomatoes and sauce. Cover and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours until meat is tender. Serve with hot rice.
