Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb Shoulder steak
  • 1/2 x to 3/4 C minced onion
  • 1/2 c. green pepper, minced
  • 1/2 c. red pepper, minced
  • 1/2 c. yellow pepper, minced
  • 1/2 c. minced celery
  • 2 1/2 c. canned tomatoes
  • 1 c. water
  • 1 tsp salt freshly grnd black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 c. uncooked rice

Method

  • Wipe meat with damp cloth; cut off fat edging the steaks.
  • Brown meat slowly on both sides.
  • (Use a cast iron skillet, if possible.
  • No added fat is necessary.)
  • To skillet, add in all the rest of the ingredients, except rice, and turn heat to low.
  • Cover pan.
  • Cook 30 min.
  • Add in rice (regular, NOT instant nor converted rice!)
  • and simmer, covered, 30 to 40 min longer, till meat and rice are very tender.
  • I usually remove the meat and put the rice into the liquid, then put the meat on top.
  • I served it with a tossed salad and - believe it or possibly not - succotash.
  • Great combination of flavors.
