Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by slicing the top sirloin tips into bite-sized pieces. Chop the bacon, jalapeños, and onion. Dice the fresh tomatoes.

2

Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions and jalapeños. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent. Then add the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4

Cook the Sirloin Tips

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the top sirloin tips to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.

5

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked bacon back into the skillet and mix everything together. Allow to heat through for a minute.

6

Serve

Serve the sirloin tip mixture over a bed of mole almendras. Accompany with refried beans and warm tortillas on the side.
