Time 3h55m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 pounds flank steak
3/4 cup Delicioso Adobo seasoning, recipe follows
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
6 bottles beer
1/2 cup canola oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
6 scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons lemon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 tablespoons achoite powder from annatto seed
1 tablespoon cumin powder

Steps:

Cut the flank steak into large pieces and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the adobo and the Worcestershire sauce to make a paste. Rub the paste into the meat, add the beer, and let marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Transfer the meat, as well as the marinade to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, shred the meat and set it aside.
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, scallions, and tomatoes and cook until they are soft, 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and meat to the pan along with 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Cover and simmer until the juices cook down, about 15 minutes.
Combine all ingredients.

Categories Beef

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 (15-oz) can(s) diced tomatoes ( do not drain)
1 medium onion, halved and cut into thin half-rings
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and cut into half rings
2 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp capers
1 1/2 lb beef flank steak
1 cup white rice - prepared according to package directions
1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed olives
1 Tbsp olive brine
1 handful fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the wine, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes (with liquid), onion, bell peppers, garlic and capers. Nestle the steak among the onions and peppers, pushing the beef down so it's covered as much as possible. Secure the lid, and cook on Low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on High heat for 4 to 5 hours.
2. About 20 to 25 minutes before beef is done, prepare the rice according to package directions.
3. While the rice is cooking, use two forks to shred the beef. Add the olives and olive brine to the beefy mixture, and stir several times to thoroughly incorporate the shredded beef into the other ingredients.
4. For each (of 4) servings: Place about 1/2 cup cooked white rice in center of a plate. Use a large ladle or serving spoon, and spoon the beefy pepper mixture over the rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately while still hot.
