Steps:
- Season the hamburger patty with salt and pepper on both sides, adding any other seasonings you like (I add garlic and herb, hot paprika, and white pepper).
- Heat a 10" skillet over medium high heat, adding one tablespoon of the oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until onion starts to color and becomes soft.
- Add the garlic and cook a minute longer, adding a little salt and pepper.
- Add the vinegar to the pan, and cook another two minutes.
- Remove the onion and garlic from the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Put the patty into the pan and let it brown for about a minute, then break it up gently with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Season with hot sauce, if desired, and chili powder.
- Once the ground meat is thoroughly cooked, and no pink can be seen (about 5 minutes), add the peas. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes, turning the heat to medium low.
- Add the rice, salsa, onion and garlic mixture. Stir well, cooking another minute.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top, and cover, cooking for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For a stir-fry, you'll want to use a cut of beef that is tender and flavorful. Good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak.
- Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the beef will not cook evenly.
- Add the vegetables: Once the beef is cooked, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
- Add the sauce: Stir in the sauce and cook until it is heated through.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served fresh out of the wok or skillet.
Conclusion:
Beefy Tex-Mex stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. This dish is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of beef, vegetables, and Tex-Mex spices. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
