Southwest Chuck Steak

Submitted by QueenJellyBean

"I didn't have any idea what to do with the chuck steaks in my freezer so I read a few recipes here and on other sites and came up with this. I served it on rice and it was quite tasty...DH gave it two thumbs up! I prefer the Rotel brand tomatoes and for the beef base you can't beat the Better than Bouillon brand."

Excellent recipe for lovers of hot and spicy dishes. I had less than 2 lbs. of steak so I added a can of sliced mushrooms to the dish. Really good! Made for My-3-Chefs June 2012.

This was delicious my whole family enjoyed it. Was easy enough to throw together before work. I ran out of rotels so i used a can of whole tomatoes that i crushed with my fingers and added a can of green chilis. A keeper in my house. Thanks
