1

lb boneless beef top round steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/2

cup chopped onion (1 medium)

1

medium jalapeño chile, seeded, minced

3

cloves garlic, minced

3

cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained

teaspoons chili powder

Preparation

Heat nonstick Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, chile and garlic; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink.
