Advertisement

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Salsa Verde:

In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the tomatillos and jalapeños. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly translucent.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos, jalapeños, cilantro, onion, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

2️⃣ Cook the Beef:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

3️⃣ Sauté Vegetables:

In the same pan, add the sliced onion, garlic, and green bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

4️⃣ Add the Salsa:

Pour the prepared salsa verde into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add the cooked beef back into the pan, mixing to coat with the salsa. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5️⃣ Serve:

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve the Bistec en Salsa Verde with rice, tortillas, or over tacos, garnished with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime.

🔥 Pro Tips:
✔ You can add a bit of sour cream or Mexican crema for extra richness.
