Ingredients

½ tablespoon shortening
1 ½ pounds cubed stew meat
1 onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 fresh jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and diced
2 chopped tomatoes
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
water as needed

Steps:

Melt the shortening in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the meat and brown well on all sides. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add the canned tomatoes, jalapeno chile peppers, fresh tomatoes, cumin, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until meat is tender. (Note: If mixture is too thick, add water as needed. Or if mixture is too thin, combine some cornstarch and water and add to thicken.)
