First things first, let’s prep our beef. Thinly slice your steak against the grain. This step ensures that your Steak Picado will be tender and easy to chew. Season the beef slices with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and jalapeño.

Sauté the onions until they are transparent and the veggies are soft. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the sliced steak in a single layer.

Let it cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes to get a nice sear. Then, stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned.

When the garlic is aromatic, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about one minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic!

Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the skillet.

Stir everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are well-coated with the spices. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the Steak Picado simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
