looking for a simmered mexican steak recipe that you eat in a tortilla?

Question

like round steak cut up and simmered with onions, jalapenos and eaten with rice and beans. Kind of like swiss steak but with mexican flavors

Answer 1

One recipe that I make frequently is Lomo Saltado which is rather like the Mexican fajita recipe, but its cooked in a skillet in the manner of Swiss steak.

Slice your steak into strips and marinade in a mixture of soy sauce, red wine, garlic, lime juice, a few fresh jalapeno slices and cilantro (whole branches so you can completely remove when its time to cook). I prefer overnight to get a rich flavor and tenderness, but an hour is alright also. Discard marinate.

To a heated skillet add olive oil, then your steak and saute until its is nearly cooked, add fresh sliced tomatoes, onions and green and red peppers. Saute a few minutes until the vegetables and cook but still firm. Add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, and salt and black pepper and freshly chopped parsley.

Traditionally, then also mix crisply fried potato at this point. You can eat this alone, or place in flour tortillas and roll up to eat. If serving on a plate, garnish with sliced tomatoes, lime wedges and olives.

Answer 4

I make a steak dish kinda what you are looking for... I sautee the onions, garlic and jalapenos in vegetable oil then I add the beef and a small can of crushed tomatoes. I add ground cumin, parsley, cilantro, oregano.

Answer 5

Look for a recipe called "carne guisada" (it's not the same as "carne asada;" guisada = stewed and asada=grilled).

Or look for a dish called "ropa vieja" which means literally "old clothes" meaning it's shredded: steak, peppers etc.
