Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds flank steak
2 bay leaves
1 carrot, cut into 3 pieces
1 tomato, cut in half
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, julienned
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 1/4 cups lime juice
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • To a large pot, add steak, bay leaves, carrot, tomato, cumin, and oregano and cover with water. Boil the meat until it becomes tender, then remove from the liquid, and shred the meat. Into a very hot saute pan pour 1/8 cup olive oil, then add the meat, making sure to spread it out evenly. Flip it over and cook until both sides become crispy. In a separate pan, add the remaining oil and cook the onions until caramelized, then mix in the meat, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

This recipe was amazing! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I served it over rice and black beans and it was a hit with my family. I'll definitely be making this again.
