Colombian-Style Powdered Beef

Ingredients

• 4 green onions
• 1 ½ lb flank steak
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon garlic spice paste
• 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Large zip-top bag
• 2 plum tomatoes
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• ¼ bunch cilantro
• 2 limes, for juice
• 2 teaspoons sazon seasoning

Steps

1. Slice green onions thinly. Place steak, green onions, cumin, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt in zip-top bag (wash hands); seal and massage to coat. Chill 2 hours (or overnight).
2. Place steak and marinade in medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook 85–95 minutes until meat is fork-tender and 145°F; set aside to cool. Meanwhile, chop tomatoes, yellow onion, bell pepper, and cilantro finely and juice limes (2 tablespoons).
3. Cut beef into 1-inch pieces, place in bowl of food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Preheat large sauté pan on medium high 2–3 minutes; place remaining 1 tablespoon oil, tomatoes, yellow onions, bell peppers, and seasoning in pan. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften. Stir in beef and cook 2–3 minutes until heated through. Stir in cilantro and lime juice; serve.
