• Mean while brown bacon in a large skillet.
• Remove and add sirloin steak to the skillet and brown in bacon fat on both sides.
• Add the meats to the crock pot.
• Place the chiles and water in a food processor and whirl to very smooth.
• Strain if you want, I don't worry about it when using the processor.
• by hand is another story.
• You will need to press puree through a mesh strainer.
• Add the puree to the crock pot along with all the remaining ingredients except cilantro.
