Ingredients
3 lbs. beef sirloin or round steak1/2 cup flour4 tbsp oil1- 6 oz can of tomato paste2 cups water4 tsp chili powder2 tsp garlic powder2 tsp ground cumin1 tsp onion powder
1. Cut the beef steaks into cubes. Put the flour in a big ziplock bag and add the beef chunks. Shake until completely and evenly covered. You want to definitely use the flour because it thickens the sauce.
2. Heat the oil in a dutch oven or chicken fryer and add the coated beef. Fry for a few minutes until browned.
3. Add the water, tomato paste and spices.
4. Simmer and then lower heat to cook low and slow. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours up to 2 hours. The longer it cooks, the more tender it will be. The sauce will thicken but it should not completely reduce.
5. Enjoy it over rice or mashed potatoes.
