Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flank Steak

    Season the flank steak with cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Meat

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the flank steak on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Remove the steak from the pot and add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and tomato. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Simmer

    Return the flank steak to the pot, add beef broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 2 hours or until meat is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it. Return the shredded meat to the pot, adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice. Stir in fresh cilantro before serving.
