Chili Salsa Beef

"I love this recipe because it’s something different and it’s super easy to prepare. Our family eats a lot of beef so I try to find new and creative ways to include it in our meals. Sometimes I cut steaks into cubes but a package of stew meats works just as well. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!" - Karna Dam, Hooper, NE
