Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the 2 pounds of top round steak into 1-inch thick strips.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  3. Dredge the beef strips in the flour mixture, coating them thoroughly.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup of shortening in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  5. Brown the beef strips in batches until seared on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 cups of chopped onions to the same skillet, cooking until softened and translucent.
  7. Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
  8. Stir in one 16-ounce can of tomatoes, breaking them up slightly with a spoon.
  9. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot chili-steak mixture.
  11. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely before serving.
