Ingredients
Scale
- 900 g beef steak, sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon all purpose seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 480 ml low sodium chicken or beef broth
- 60 ml low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon browning seasoning (burnt sugar)
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers (red or green)
- 80 g sliced onion
- Water as needed
- 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 30 g cornstarch
- 60 ml cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, thoroughly coat steak strips with all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned steak strips for 3–5 minutes, turning to achieve a deep brown color.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken or beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and browning seasoning until well blended.
- Pour the prepared liquid mixture into the skillet with steak. Stir in sliced bell peppers and onions. If necessary, add water to ensure the steak is just covered.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, periodically checking liquid level and adding water if needed to keep steak submerged.
- Stir in adobo seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and additional salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes over low heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to form a smooth slurry. Pour into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine and thicken the sauce.
- Simmer the covered skillet for 10–15 minutes or until the meat is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened to desired consistency. Total simmering time should be approximately 45 minutes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the steak overnight.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- This dish pairs well with rice or noodles.
