Bistec Encebollado (Steak with Onions)

Ingredients

• 1 pound thin breakfast steak
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large white or yellow onion (sliced)
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ teaspoon powder ancho chile
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the steak by cutting it into small strips or cubes. Set aside.

2. 2

   Add the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions in a single layer, move around to spread the oil and then let sit for a minute. Transfer the onions to a plate and set aside.

3. 3

   Note: Searing the onions first gives a lovely balanced of sweetness and smokiness to the onions.

4. 4

   To the same skillet, add the bistec strips and season with the salt, pepper and ancho chile. Cook for about 3-4 minutes stirring once in a while to cook evenly.

5. 5

   When the steak is half way cooked, add the garlic and mix to incorporate into the steak.

6. 6

   Add the onions back in, mix and cook for another 5 minutes or until the steak is nice and tender.

7. 7

   Serve immediately while warm.
