Add some of the steak pieces and coat evenly with flour mixture; shake off excess. Remove to a platter. Repeat with remaining steak. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add 2 pieces of meat and brown 3 minutes on each side. When browned, transfer to a Dutch oven. Repeat with remaining pieces of meat. Add additional oil if needed. Add 1 cup water to pan drippings. Bring to a boil, scraping bottom and sides of skillet to loosen brown bits. Pour over meat. Top with peppers, mushrooms, onions, jalapenos and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover tightly, and simmer 1 hour and 45 minutes, until meat is very tender when pierced with a fork. Rearrange meat occasionally to keep pieces from sticking to the bottom of pan. Recipe by Bernadette Swancer, Medina, Ohio. Share this: Pin ItEmailPrint
