Steak Ranchero Recipe

How to make it

---

• In a 6 Quart Pot (Dutch Oven) start melting 1 stick of butter (turn the heat/flame to about medium).
• Add the 3 cans of diced tomatoes.
• Stir in a good amount of Salt and Pepper to taste (this is going to make the entire pot full).
• Add the Stew Meat (fat and all).
• Cover and bring to an easy boil then reduce the heat about half way down. Keep stiring occasionally.
• Cut the roots and very tops off of all the green onions and chop the entire onion (green and all) into about 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the pot.
• Thinly slic 3 Big Jalapeno Peppers and then cut into about 1/2 pieces and add to the pot. For a hotter taste leave in most of the seeds.
• Turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
• If it isn't spicy enough as it cooks I add some additional sliced jar jalapenos and lots of the juice until I get it to a nice spicy level.
• If desired serve over Mashed Potatoes or Rice.
• Freeze left overs in serving sizes of about 2 big ladle fulls per person. I don't normally have left overs if my family hears that I am cooking this and they come out of nowhere to eat at Mom's/Sis's house. LOL
• Note: I have made this in a crock pot before but I like the way it comes out when prepared on the stove top better.
