Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the onion into thick slices. Chop the tomato into large pieces. Cut the bell peppers into strips. Prepare the cilantro and garlic. Cut the meat into long pieces. Season.
  2. Heat the wok or large skillet over high heat. Place the oil and immediately the meat without overlapping. In general, it is necessary to do it in two batches. The idea is to brown the beef without releasing juices. Cook for a minute, turn and continue cooking for another minute. Remove to a plate if you need to do a second batch.
