Braised Steak with Chipolte Sauce Recipe

There will be a lot of grilling happening this weekend so here's an easy recipe to cook inside for something different. I plan on letting it simmer this afternoon while I read nuphedra reviews.

We like things spicy around here so I prepare a lot of Mexican inspired dishes. I came up with this recipe a few years ago. It is great served over rice with a side of guacamole and fresh tortillas from the Mexican market.

Braised Steak with Chipolte Sauce

1 to 2 pounds round steak, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 15oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1 small can tomato sauce
3 canned chipolte chilies, chopped
1 clove fresh garlic
salt and pepper
dash ground cumin
2 T. olive oil

Place oil in preheated skillet. Brown meat. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and simmer until meat is tender stirring occasionally, approximately 1 1/2 hrs. You may add a little water if necessary.
