1 1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak or top round steak, 3/4-inch thick, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups Pace® Chunky Salsa, any variety
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can (about 15 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Chili Toppings
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the beef in 2 batches and cook until it's well browned, stirring often. Remove the beef from the saucepot.
Add the remaining oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it's tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the salsa, water, chili powder and cumin. Heat to a boil. Return the beef to the saucepot. Stir in the beans. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for 30 minutes or until the beef is fork-tender.
Sprinkle with the cilantro and Chili Toppings, if desired.
Chili Toppings: Chopped tomatoes, chopped onions or shredded cheese.
