Mexican-Style Pepper Steak image

Shaved steak is not a staple of Mexican cuisine. Most cooks prefer the slightly thicker beef milanesa cut, similar to minute steak. But Memo Pinedo, the proprietor of a restaurant and a food truck in Houston, both called Jarro Cafe, appreciates Angus beef sliced from sirloin for his tacos de bistec. It's so thin he can cook it in steam coming off a skillet of sizzling onions, tomatoes and jalapeños.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
2 medium Roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
4 jalapeño or habañero chilies, sliced crosswise with seeds
Kosher salt
black pepper
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
8 fresh bay leaves
1 pound shaved beefsteak
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and add half of the onion, tomatoes, bell pepper and chilies, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add half of the broth and bay leaves to each skillet and bring to a simmer. Lay beef slices over top, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning beef once, until it loses its pink color, about 3 minutes total. Transfer meat to a platter or plates. Simmer pan juices until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon vegetables and juices over the beef and sprinkle with cilantro.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The steak was a little tough and the sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover steak. I made it with some sirloin steak that I had grilled the night before, and it turned out really well. The sauce is flavorful and the steak is tender.

I would not recommend this recipe. The steak was overcooked and the sauce was way too salty.
