Chicana In The Crock Pot Food

CHICANA-IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Cut the steak, bell peppers, onion and jalapeno into bite sized pieces or strips.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the vegetables to the heated pan and cook until crisp-tender.
• Add the steak and garlic to the pan with the vegetables and cook until steak is browned.
• Add both cans of tomatoes, the salsa, and salt and pepper to taste to the pan.
• Pour the mixture into your crockpot and cook on low for 5-8 hours.
• Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.
• NOTE: I gave this such a long cooking time because it definitely does not bother it to be cooked for 8 hours in the crockpot. However, it is typically done and tender in 5 hours.

CHICANA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Throw in the round steak, bell pepper and onion. Pour the tomato sauce and water over all, and season with garlic, cumin and chili powder. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

CHICAGO STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES (CROCK POT VERSION)

Steps:

• In a crock pot combine all of your ingredients (except for the rolls and giardinara) and let it cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and falling apart.
• Remove the meat from the au jus and shred it with a fork until it is finely shred.
• Return the meat to the crock pot full of au jus to get warm for 20 minutes.
• After the meat is warmed, fill the buns with meat, ladle or dip the sandwiches with au jus.
• For Chicago authenticity, add hot or mild giardiniera to the sandwiches or the sweet green bell peppers.

STEAK CHICANA

Steps:

• Remove most fat from the meat and dice into 3/4 inch pieces. Mix flour, salt & pepper used to cover the meat for browning. Dice tomatoes, onions, chilies, jalapenos and garlic.
• In a very large fry pan or roaster pan, brown the meat on all sides in hot oil. Add beef broth and all other ingredients except tortillas. Reduce heat to simmer and cover.
• Let cook 3 to 4 hrs or until meat is very tender and the mixture has thickened suitable for burritos. You may have to cook with lid removed the last hour.

CHICANA...MEXICAN I THINK?

Steps:

• In crockpot add the roast, peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder and salt. Stir until well combined.
• Set crockpot for 8 hours if you have a timer on low and let cook.
• Serve with refried beans and rice!
• If cooking on the stove, add a 28 oz can of water (the can the tomatoes were in) to start with, you may need more or not as the cooking time goes on. You may have a faster cook time with this method.
