Beef Fillet Strips in Onion Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup Basic Cooked Tomatillo Sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
3/4 pound tenderloin fillet or New York beef steaks, cut into strips about 1/2-inch wide and 1 1/2-inch long
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1 large white onion, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
1 clove garlic (large), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup canned beef broth or chicken broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or 3 teaspoons, if not using Maggi)
1 teaspoon Maggi seasoning extract
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ripe avocado (Hass variety preferred), peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
4 , (3/4 inch x 2 inch) strips panela cheese, queso, blanco, or substitute another mild white cheese

Steps:

1. Prepare the salsa. Then, in a heavy skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the meat, in batches, until lightly browned and still pink inside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate. 2. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, and allspice to the same pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire, Maggi, and lime juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring frequently, 4 minutes. 3. Return the meat and any juices to the pan. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, and cook until completely heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 serving plates. Arrange the green salsa, avocado, and cheese around the meat.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
