A flavorful and comforting Steak Picado recipe made with tender pieces of bottom round roast cooked in a savory tomato and chili sauce. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a gathering with friends.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Steak:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 lbs bottom round roast, chopped into 1” pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon cumin

For the Sauce:

  • 1 large onion, finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 10 oz cans diced tomatoes with green chili
  • 1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water (or more if using a large pan)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Heat up a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add oil once hot. Add the chopped steak, spread it evenly, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, oregano, and cumin.
  2. Cook the Steak: Stir spices into the meat once it starts browning. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Sauce Ingredients: Add tomatoes, jalapenos, and enough water to cover the meat slightly. Stir, cover, and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Finish the Dish: Uncover, simmer for 30 more minutes to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and cilantro before serving.
