Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 russet potatoes
1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin or flank steak
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
2 jalapeño peppers
2 roma tomatoes
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp dried oregano

Steps

Cut the potatoes into small cubes, slice the onion and steak, and chop the garlic, jalapeños, and tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes, until tender.
Add the steak, onion, garlic, and jalapeños, then cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the beef reaches 145 F.

Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the vegetables soften.
