Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, season beef with diced cubanelle peppers, onions, garlic, ajicitos, adobo, salsa china (lite sodium soy sauce), Dominican orégano, sazón, black pepper, lime, recao, and olive oil

Mix together until well combined and let marinate for 30mins or even overnight

Step 5

In a skillet, heat up canola oil until nice and hot. Use medium heat.

Step 6

Add beef making sure to brown on each side. Browning should take about 5-10 mins. Be sure to flip over the beef.
