🥄 Ingredients

• 2 pounds sirloin steak, (diced into 1-inch cubes)

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon Mexican oregano
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups beef broth, (divided)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ yellow onion, (diced)
• 1 jalapeño pepper, (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 Roma tomatoes, (diced)
• ½ teaspoon soy sauce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Toss together the beef, salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a large bowl.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of the beef broth and the flour to create a slurry. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

4. 4

   Stir in the onion, jalapeño, and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes and soy sauce. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.

6. 6

   Pour in the remaining 1 ¾ cups of beef broth and the slurry. Stir to combine and bring everything to a boil.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.

8. 8

   Uncover and cook for an additional 3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Taste and add more salt as needed.

9. 9

   Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with warm flour tortillas and a side of Mexican rice.
