Stuffed Steak

Ingredients:

1/3 jalapeno

1/3 cup of chopped onion

1/3 cup of chopped sweet bell peppers

1 medium sized tomato

1Tbsp of minced garlic

1 Tbsp of olive oil

Handful of cilantro (as much or little as you like)

2-4 slices of thinly sliced beef (carne asada is the thickest you want to use)

Directions:

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a baking pan with foil.
  2. 2. Cut the jalapeno, bell peppers, onion, and tomato into small chunks.
  3. 3. Place a small cooking pan on the stove and heat on medium flame level with the 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
  4. 4. Once the pan is heated place all the cut up vegetable and mince garlic into the pan. Begin to stir until the vegetables are halfway cooked. (We do not want to brown the veggies). Once they are halfway cooked turn the stove off, mix in the cilantro and remove the pan from the stove.
  5. 5. Place the pieces of steak one at a time flat on the baking sheet. Scoop the cooked vegetables and place in the middle of the piece of steak. Then roll the steak starting from one side to the other forming it into a tube shape. 
  6. 6. Repeat with the rest of the steak pieces
  7. 7. Once all the steak pieces are rolled, very lightly sprinkle garlic and seasoning salt over them. Try to avoid over salting your food. 
  8. 8. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.


Side suggestions:

  1. 1. Quinoa- ½ cup quinoa and 1-cup water. Cooking on the stove on medium heat for around 20 minutes or water has evaporated.
  2. 2. Steamed asparagus or green beans. (Sautee is also a great option)
  3. 3. Spinach, corn and black bean salad (refer to Salads tab)
