Green Chili Stew

This is my dad's specialty. He used to make this a lot when I was little. Back then I didn't like it that much but now I love it! So maybe not a great dish for little kids because it's spicy, but it's worth making with a side of mac n' cheese for the kiddos! :)

Green Chili Stew
Round steak with bone
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1-2 T lard
1-2 T flour
3-4 tomatoes
1 13oz tub green chili (frozen)
Cilantro (optional)
Wild Oregano (optional)
Water

Cube and fry steak on skillet until water is gone. Add chopped garlic. Set aside. Add lard and flour to skillet and brown to make smooth gravy. Boil tomatoes and potatoes to remove skin and then chop up. Add meat, chili and garlic into the gravy and fry until you can smell the chili. Then transfer it all to a crock-pot and add the potatoes and tomatoes and a little cilantro and oregano if desired. Add water until crock pot is mostly full. Slow cook on low for several hours. The longer it cooks the better it tastes. Serve with tortillas.
