Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 pounds flank steak (thinly sliced)
  • 1/3 cup sofrito
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 8 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tablespoon 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)
  • 3 bay leaves
  • Water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with sofrito, chopped cilantro, crushed garlic, oil, Maggi seasoning, chicken bouillon seasoning, oregano, adobo, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to coat the steak evenly. Marinate for at least one hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and any remaining marinade. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until juices release from the meat.
  3. Add sliced bell peppers and onions to the pot; stir to combine.
  4. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the meat entirely and add bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium and cook until water reduces by half.
  5. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about an hour or until tender.
