Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pounds boneless beef chuck shoulder steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick
- 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, such as Colavita® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 3/4 cup uncooked regular long grain rice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) Mexican-style diced tomatoes, undrained

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Trim fat from beef steaks. Cut steaks lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
