Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef tenderloin tips
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- 1 medium White onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup Beef or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef tenderloin tips with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef tips in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and cumin. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the beef tips to the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the dish simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot. Pair with rice, beans, or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
