Steak Picado

Steak Picado is one of the easiest meals to prepare. It can be served with beans and rice. Don't hesitate to use it as a burrito or taco filling. Use a slotted spoon to drain as you fill a tortilla or taco shell. You can easily make into a stew by adding rice. I often substitute a couple Hatch green chiles for the green bell pepper.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chuck steak, cubed
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 white onion, chopped, divided
• 4-5 tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 packet Goya achiote
• 2-3 teaspoons chicken flavor Knorr
• 3 cups water

Instructions

1. Pour a little oil into a saucepan.
2. Once oil is hot add meat (do NOT add salt or any seasoning). Let cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
3. Add bell peppers and 1/4 of the onion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 more minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a blender add tomatoes, 1/4 of the white onion, garlic clove, Goya achiote, chicken Knorr and water and blend well.
5. Add mixture to meat and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
