FIESTA STEAK CHILI
This is a basic recipe for non-traditional chili using steak. My wife is allergic to chili powder, so I don't use any in this recipe, but you are welcome to add some if you like. This is a very tame, full-flavor, colorful chili recipe that even the kids will like. There are plenty of other variations that you can use with this basic recipe, please change at will. Things we have tried include adding three or four fresh jalapenos, or adding Tabasco® habanaro sauce, or cilantro, or fresh tomatoes, or using red, yellow, orange, and green peppers, or hamburger instead of a steak or roast. Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

Tips:
- To save time, use a pre-made coleslaw mix. You can also make your slaw from scratch using shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
- Be sure to rinse and drain the black beans and corn before adding them to the slaw. This will help to remove excess starch and moisture.
- If you don't have any chili tortilla strips on hand, you can make your own by cutting corn tortillas into thin strips and baking them in the oven until they are crispy.
- For a more flavorful slaw, use a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt in the dressing. You can also add a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
- Serve the fiesta slaw immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
