I've always wanted to make a fruit pizza. For Easter I was looking for a little munchie ~ making these was great. Bite sized. I'd use this again as an appetizer or for a summer party.

Beef Sandwiches

This is one of my mom's recipes. It's served me well for football Sunday's & for little gatherings. The meat turns out just perfect. It kinda became a joke because a couple years ago I took this with me to a couple outings and it just became known as 'the meat'. So, yes, give 'the meat' a try!

Ingredients

3 lb. boneless beef round steak, 1 inch thick

2 TBSP chili powder

2 TBSP brown sugar

3 cloves garlic, crushed/minced

1 TBSP hot pepper sauce

2 medium onions sliced, in rings

12 oz. chili sauce ( I use Heinz brand)

10 crusty rolls, split

Directions

Heat oven to 325. Place 28X18 piece of heavy duty foil in shallow roasting pan. Place steak in the center of the foil.

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, brown sugar, garlic and hot pepper sauce, mixing until well blended. Spread on both side of the steak. Top with onions and chili sauce. Bring two opposite end of the foil up over the steak, seal with double foil. Seal end of the foil to close. (Make sure it's sealed really well! I've made the mistake of not having it sealed well enough). Bake in 325 oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until beef is tender.

Remove onions and juices to medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cook and stir 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim the fat from the steak. Carve crosswise into thin slices, arrange on a serving platter. Top with onion mixture. Serve with crusty rolls.
