Chopped steak is one of those things that can never go wrong. It is cheap, it is flavorful and unlike a real steak, you cannot cook it wrong. (well, I guess if you try really hard you can but..) I love to make this for my kids because it’s always tender and that makes it so easy for them to eat, they love it!

Now, for the grown-ups, I like to make a batch of my Ranchero Sauce and pour it all over my steak. There are many versions of ranchero sauce, some people like it really spicy, some people like more of a tomato taste but there’s no right or wrong, and I just like a happy medium.

I like sauteeing the peppers and onions in a large skillet until they get a little brown. I boil the tomatoes and them blend them with garlic and spices. Add them tomatoes to the peppers and let it cook low and slow, (or not so if you’re in a hurry) so perfect and delicious!

This salsa is great for Chopped Steak but another favorite way to use it is, with Huevos Rancheros. Give it a try!
