topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2.7 kg beef flank steaks
  • 1 can (800 g) of tomato pulp
  • 1 can (170 g) of tomato paste
  • 6 bottles of beer
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 cup Delicious Adobo seasoning (see recipe below)
  • 1/2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 2 medium-sized onions, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped
  • 6 green onions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • Salt and ground black pepper

    Delicious Adobo Seasoning:

  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp. l. dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp. lemon pepper
  • 2 tbsp. l. dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons annatto seed powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder

Preparation:

  1. Cut the flank steak into large pieces and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the adobo seasoning and Worcestershire sauce until a paste forms. Rub the paste into the meat, add the beer, and marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Transfer the meat and marinade to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
  2. Remove the meat from the pan and reserve the liquid. Use two forks to shred the meat.

    Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, green onions, and tomatoes and cook until soft, 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and meat, then pour in 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Cover and simmer until the juices have evaporated, about 15 minutes.

    Delicious Adobo Seasoning: Mix all dry spices with annatto coloring pigment.
