Carne Salteada (Beef Stir Fry)
This 5 step carne salteada is a beef stir fry marinated in soy sauce, sour orange, and sazón, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb top sirloin beef steak sliced into pieces
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sour orange juice (narnja agria) or lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic mashed
- ½ tsp sazón
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp oil
- ½ red onion quartered
- ½ red bell pepper quartered
- ¼ green bell pepper quartered
- ¼ yellow bell pepper quartered
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sour orange juice, mashed garlic, sazón, and black pepper. Add the beef, toss to coat evenly, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight for more flavor.
- Heat a large pan over high heat and add the oil. Once hot, cook the beef in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your pan, to avoid overcrowding and excess liquid. Spread the beef in a single layer, sear for 2-3 minutes without flipping, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet, reserving the marinade mixture, and set the beef aside.
- Lower the heat to medium high and add the onion and bell peppers to the same pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly charred but still have some crunch.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables and stir everything together. Pour in the reserved marinade and cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly while keeping the vegetables crisp.
- Serve the carne salteada fresh off the stove with its juices and pair it with a side of white rice. Buen provecho!
