instructions

Start by cutting the steak into small cubes. This will help it cook quickly and evenly.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Let the oil heat for about 2 minutes.

Once the oil is hot, add the cubed steak to the skillet. Season it with salt and pepper.

Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's browned on all sides.

While the steak is cooking, chop the onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and garlic.

When the steak is browned, add the chopped onion and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

Next, add the garlic and jalapeño, cooking for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Finally, add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down, and the mixture becomes saucy.

Serve the Bistec a la Mexicana hot with warm tortillas or rice, and garnish with fresh cilantro if you like!
