Ingredients

🥩 4 beef steak fillets, select the most tender available
🧅 1 large red onion, sliced into rings
🍋 1/2 lime, for washing the beef
🧄 1 tablespoon garlic powder
🌿 2 tablespoons seasoning powder, Sazón Goya recommended
🌶️ A pinch of black pepper
🌿 A pinch of oregano
🥢 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
🛢️ 1-2 tablespoons oil
🧂 Salt, likely included in Sazón

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

• Place the beef fillets in a glass bowl.
• Squeeze half a lime over them and wash under running water. Drain thoroughly.

2- Season the Beef:

• Add garlic powder, seasoning powder, black pepper, and oregano to the beef.
• Mix by hand until all the fillets are evenly coated.

3- Add Liquid Seasoning:

• Drizzle the soy sauce and oil over the seasoned beef.
• Mix again to ensure even coverage.

4- Add Onions and Marinate:

• Incorporate the sliced red onion rings into the beef mixture.
• Mix well and let marinate for approximately 2 minutes.

5- Cook the Beef:

• Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat.
• Place the beef (without the onions initially) into the pan.

6- Braise and Sear:

• Cook the beef by flipping frequently every few seconds to help evaporate the liquid and initiate browning.

7- Sauté Onions and Finish:

• Once the meat is browned, add the onions from the marinade into the pan.
• Drizzle some extra soy sauce for enhanced color and flavor.
• Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions become tender and caramelized.

8- Serve:

• Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve hot, garnished with mashed potatoes and red bell pepper slices if desired.
