🫑 1 green bell pepper sliced
🌿 ½ tablespoon Dominican dried oregano
🌶️ 1 teaspoon black pepper
🧂 3-4 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt
🍅 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
🟩 2 tablespoons sofrito green paste
🥫 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
🥑 2 tablespoons avocado oil
💧 1.5 cups water ½ cup initially, 1 cup added later
🍋 Lemon juice and vinegar for cleaning beef

Instructions

1- Preparation:

• Clean the Angus beef pieces using lemon juice and vinegar to remove impurities and add flavor.

2- Seasoning:

• In a metal mixing bowl, combine the beef with salt, black pepper, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and sofrito.
• Mix thoroughly using tongs until evenly coated.

3- Searing:

• In a stainless steel pan (from a Rachel Ray cookware set), heat avocado oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the seasoned beef in batches to avoid overcrowding.
• Allow each side to sear for 5 minutes until browned.

4- First Braise:

• Pour any leftover seasoning mixture from the bowl into the pan.
• Add ½ cup of water and tomato sauce, stirring to combine.
• Cover with a glass lid and reduce heat to medium, letting it braise for 40 minutes.

5- Moistening:

• After 20 minutes, uncover and add 1 cup of water.
• Stir, then re-cover and continue braising for the remaining 20 minutes.

6- Fat Removal:

• Once braising is complete, remove the lid.
• Using a spoon, skim off any excess fat from the surface.

7- Vegetable Addition:

• Add sliced red onion, red and green bell peppers.
• Stir to integrate the vegetables with the sauce and beef.

8- Final Simmer:

• Cover the pan again, cooking for an additional 10 minutes over medium heat to soften the vegetables.

9- Serving:

• Serve hot with white rice, stewed beans, a fresh green salad, avocado, or tostones.
