Ingredients for Alambre De Bistec

  • 4 slices bacon
  • Beef
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • Green Bell Peppers
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pepper
  • 6-8 warm tortillas

How to Make Alambre De Bistec

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until medium-rare (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 large onion, sliced, and 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced, to the skillet. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the steak is cooked to your liking.
  5. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine.
  6. Serve immediately on warm tortillas. Top with your favorite salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese for an extra flavor explosion!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
