Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Season the bistek with salt and black pepper on both sides. Slice the onion into thin rings.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onion

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bistek

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned bistek. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about a minute on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Bistec Encebollado

    On each tortilla, place a piece of bistek. Top with the caramelized onions and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  3. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the assembled tortillas to the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Serve the bistec encebollado warm, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro or avocado slices.
