Mexican Minute Steak Rollups Recipes

STEAK RANCHERO

Steps:

• Slice the flank steak into thin strips across the grain.
• Combine the cumin, sugar, salt, oregano, chili powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Toss the steak strips with the spices until they get completely coated. Let the steak sit for at least 20 minutes or place in the fridge overnight.
• Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until it gets smoking hot. When the oil is hot, work in batches to cook the steak strips. Add the steak strips in a single layer and let them sear for 1 to 2 minutes without moving them. When they get a caramelized brown color, give them a stir then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the steak strips then transfer them to a plate. You don't need to cook the steak all the way, just get it browned. The steak strips will cook more later in the recipe.
• Don't clean the skillet out. The pieces left behind from cooking the steak will loosen up when you cook the vegetables.
• Add the onions to the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently until softened. Add garlic, jalapeño peppers, chipotle, and adobo sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring, until the peppers and garlic are fragrant.
• Pour in the wine or broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any cooked-on bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Return the steak strips to the skillet and add the tomatoes. Give everything a stir and reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes until the steak gets tender and the tomatoes break down into a juicy sauce.
• Remove the lid and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
