6g
1 tsp vinegar

1 lb beef
450g
3 tomatoes
390g
1 red pepper
80g
1 onion
110g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 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.
2. Marinate the Beef:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Salsa Criolla:
- 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.
4. Cook the Beef:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.

- If possible, grill the beef for an extra layer of smoky flavor.
