This is a great recipe to have expecially in cooler weather. It can be served with refried beans, spanish rice and hot flour tortillas or spooned onto a flour tortilla and rolled into a burrito to eat on the go. I get asked to make this for friends when the weather starts cooling off.

    Season cubed meat with garlic salt and black pepper.

  • 3
    Add oil in a large stew pot and heat. Add meat and flour to hot oil and brown the meat on all sides.
