Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef round chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic mashed, or ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp sofrito
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp adobo
  • ½ tsp sazon
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups water
  • ¼ onion sliced
  • ¼ red bell pepper sliced
  • ¼ green bell pepper sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add beef, garlic, sofrito, soy sauce, adobo, sazon, oregano, and lime. Mix until the beef is well coated with the seasonings.
  • Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add sugar to the hot oil and let it caramelize.
  • Add the beef to the pot and cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Turn the beef pieces and continue cooking, covered, for another 5 minutes or until all juices are absorbed.
  • Add tomato paste and 1 cup of water to the pot and let the beef cook for 15 minutes, covered, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Repeat this process two more times, adding 1 cup of water each time and allowing the beef to cook for 15 minutes each time, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the pot along with the last cup of water and cook for 10-12 minutes covered, or until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender. ¡Buen provecho!

Notes

Store in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for 1-2 months. Defrost in the fridge or with the microwave. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding water if needed, and a squeeze of lime juice to freshen the taste.
