Dominican Steak (Bistec Guisado)

In a bowl, add the beef, garlic, sofrito, soy sauce, adobo, oregano, sazon, and lime juice. 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 5-8 minutes. Turn the beef pieces and continue cooking, covered, for another 5-8 minutes or until all juices are absorbed.
Add 1 cup of water to the pot and let the beef cook for 15-20 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 15-20 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 a 10-15 minutes covered, or untilhalf of the liquid evaporates and the vegetables are tender. Buen provecho!
