Arepa and Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Arepas

    In a large bowl, mix the corn flour, salt, and water until a dough forms. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Form the Arepas

    Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Arepas

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the arepas for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Steak Topping

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and cumin. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced onions and bell pepper to the skillet with the steak. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Arepa

    Cut each arepa open (like a pocket) and fill with the steak and vegetable mixture. Top with sliced avocado if desired.
