Method

Preparation of the Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, salt, black pepper, oregano, and cumin. Add the flank steak and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated flank steak. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 3

    Slice the Vegetables

    While the steak is marinating, thinly slice the onions, bell pepper, and tomato, and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced onions, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Final Cooking

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the seared flank steak back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the tomato and beef broth, then add the bay leaves and soy sauce.

  2. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until the flank steak is tender and the flavors meld together.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the Bistec Encebollado with rice or tortillas, and enjoy!
