3.Gradually mix in stock, stirring and scraping base of pan. Add tomatoes, oregano and steak.

4.Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, until steak is tender. Uncover for last 15 minutes to thicken gravy. 5. Stir in kidney beans. Serve on a bed of corn chips and topped with sour cream.

Minced beef can be used in place of steak, but cooking time will need to be reduced.
