Time 3h55m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 pounds flank steak
3/4 cup Delicioso Adobo seasoning, recipe follows
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
6 bottles beer
1/2 cup canola oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
6 scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons lemon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 tablespoons achoite powder from annatto seed
1 tablespoon cumin powder

Steps:

  • Cut the flank steak into large pieces and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the adobo and the Worcestershire sauce to make a paste. Rub the paste into the meat, add the beer, and let marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Transfer the meat, as well as the marinade to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
  • Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, shred the meat and set it aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, scallions, and tomatoes and cook until they are soft, 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and meat to the pan along with 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Cover and simmer until the juices cook down, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine all ingredients.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make for a party. It's easy to scale up and it always gets rave reviews. I usually double the recipe and serve it with rice and beans. It's a delicious and festive dish that everyone loves.

I've made this recipe several times and it never disappoints. The steak is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is packed with flavor. I love that it's a one-pot dish, which makes cleanup a breeze.

This dish is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the steak shreds and absorbs all the flavors from the sauce. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it's also great on its own.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover steak. I had some grilled flank steak that I shredded and used in this dish. It turned out great! The sauce was flavorful and the peppers and onions added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this aga

This is one of my go-to recipes for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually use skirt steak, which cooks up just as well as flank steak. I also like to add some chopped jalapenos for a little extra spice. It's always a crowd-pleaser!

I'm not a big fan of flank steak, but this recipe changed my mind. The slow-cooking process made the meat incredibly tender and flavorful. The peppers and onions added a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish. I'll definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a huge hit with my family. The steak was fall-apart tender and the sauce was packed with flavor. I served it over rice and it was the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening.
