Bistec Ranchero Con Papas Mexican Recipes By Muy Delish

BISTEC A LA MEXICANA

Steps:

• Make the salsa without the lime juice.
• Drop the garlic and chili pieces one at a time into a running food processor, letting each get finely chopped before adding the next. Turn off the processor and remove the lid. Cut 1 tomato in quarters and add it to the food processor, along with the cilantro. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until you have a coarse puree. Scrape the mixture into a bowl.
• Cut the other tomato into ¼ inch pieces and add to the bowl, along with the green onion. Taste and season with lime juice (or vinegar) and salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoons This salsa is best if eaten within an hour or two, but it will keep for a number of hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat a wok (or a very large skillet) over medium high heat. Drizzle in a little olive oil, then, in 2 batches, stir-fry the steak until lightly browned. Remove to a plate, leaving behind as much oil as possible. Stir-fry the salsa until reduced - this can take up to 10 minutes. Add about ½ cup water or beef broth, return the browned meat to the pan and bring to a boil. Serve, passing around quartered limes and extra chopped green chili and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes and spread them on the skillet to cook evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
• Remove from the skillet and place in paper towels to drain oil. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
• In same skillet, remove carefully most of the oil, only leaving about two tablespoons behind.
• Over medium heat, cook the beef & garlic until the meat is almost all cooked through. About 4 minutes.
• Add the onions and peppers and cook until onions start to soften. About 2 minutes. If this mixture is starting to dry, add about 1 cup of water.
• Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Once the tomatoes are soft, add the potatoes and mix well. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes to blend all of the flavors together.
• Taste and add salt & pepper to see if it needs more.
