Ingredients
  • 1 lb flank steak, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups cornmeal (for arepas)
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for arepas)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
  1. 1In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
  2. 2Add the cubed flank steak to the pot and browning all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3Stir in the diced carrot and bell pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. 4Sprinkle in the ground cumin, paprika, and oregano, mixing well to coat the ingredients in the spices.
  5. 5Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender, occasionally stirring.
  6. 6While the stew is cooking, prepare the arepas by mixing the cornmeal, warm water, and salt in a bowl until you form a dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  7. 7Divide your dough into 6 equal balls and flatten each ball into disks about ½ inch thick.
  8. 8Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, cooking the arepas for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  9. 9In a separate bowl, combine diced avocado, sliced red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make a fresh avocado salad. Toss gently to mix.
  10. 10Once the beef is tender, taste the stew and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve in bowls alongside the arepas and avocado salad, garnished with fresh cilantro.
