Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 pounds flank steak (sliced thin)
  • 1/3 cup sofrito
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 8 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (divided)
  • 10 dashes Maggi liquid seasoning (or 2 teaspoons salt)
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ red bell pepper (sliced thin)
  • ½ green bell pepper (sliced thin)
  • ½ red onion (sliced thin)
  • Freshly chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a large bowl, combine the flank steak with sofrito, cilantro, garlic, 1 tablespoon of oil, Maggi seasoning, chicken bouillon seasoning, oregano, adobo seasoning, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well and let it marinate for at least one hour or overnight.
  2. Sauté the Steak: Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until juices are released. Stir in the sliced peppers and onions.
  3. Cook Down the Sauce: Pour enough water into the pot to cover the meat completely. Add bay leaves and cook over medium heat until the water reduces by half. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about an hour until the meat is tender.
