Savory Mexican Beef
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers, or more to taste
  • 1 pound shaved steak
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat a medium-sized cooking vessel over a moderate flame. Add a generous amount of olive oil to the pan and let it warm up for a minute or two. Introduce sliced onions into the pan and gently stir them until they become soft and translucent, approximately 3 minutes pass. Next, add minced garlic to the pan and stir it until it reaches a tender state, roughly 1 minute elapses.
2
Introduce crushed tomatoes, diced green chile peppers, and minced chipotle peppers into the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
3
Now, add sliced steak, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir everything together before bringing the mixture back to a gentle boil. Maintain a moderate heat and cover the pan with a lid; let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak becomes extremely tender, approximately 1 hour.
4
Once the cooking process is complete, remove the cinnamon stick from the pan and add chopped cilantro to it.
