grandma busch's mexican steak
To me there is nothing Mexican or steak like in this recipe. It is a creation of my grandmother who loved to cook with tomato soup. Why she called it "Mexican Steak" we'll never know. I guarantee you love it despite the name being misleading.

How To Make grandma busch's mexican steak
-
Step 1Salt and pepper chuck roast and place in roasting pan. While preparing carrots and onions oven brown the roast at 400-degrees for about 30 minutes.
-
Step 2Remove from oven and lower temperature to 350-degrees.
-
Step 3Add sliced carrots, onion slices, undiluted tomato soup and parsley in that order.
-
Step 4Return to oven and roast for 1 1/2 hours until roast is tender.
-
Step 5This dish is best served with mashed potatoes. We serve the tomato soup gravy with the carrots over the top of the mashed potatoes. Something happens with the tomato soup and carrots that is unbelievable. The carrots sweeten the tomato soup and the soup tenderizes the chuck roast.

Step 6Just writing about this is making my mouth water and reminds of good times at my grandmother's. I just wish she had lived long enough for the two of us to cook together.
