This is a pared-down version of a traditional Mexican shredded beef supper. I substitute shaved steak for the more time-consuming brisket and my family likes it even more. By using pantry items, I have created a delicious meal suitable for even the busiest weeknight. Served over rice or warm tortillas, this is one meal your family will be asking for again and again!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
- 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers, or more to taste
- 1 pound shaved steak
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until tender, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, green chile peppers, and chipotle peppers. Bring to a simmer.
Step 2
Stir shaved steak, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and cinnamon stick into the saucepan. Bring back to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until steak is very tender, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Discard cinnamon stick and stir cilantro into the saucepan.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute jalapeno peppers for the chipotle peppers if desired.
