Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, allspice, dried oregano, chili powder, minced garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the beef strips to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the beef until it's fully coated with the spice mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the beef.
- While the beef is marinating, prepare the salsa criolla. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, diced red pepper, finely chopped onion, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
- Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the salsa and let it sit at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated beef strips. Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and cooked through.
- Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the heat.
- Serve the beef hot, topped with the fresh salsa criolla.
- Accompany with your choice of side dishes such as rice, quinoa, or warm tortillas.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, allow the beef to marinate with the spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Dice the vegetables for the salsa criolla as finely as possible to ensure a beautifully blended topping.
- Use fresh lime juice for the salsa to achieve the brightest and most authentic flavor.
