Atkins Beef Recipes

Ingredients:

1 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 lb flank/skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, quartered
1 tsp jarred jalepeno pepper, chopped
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cup frozen bell pepper strips
2 cup canned tomatoes, chopped

Instructions:

Cuban in origin, the name of this dish means 'old clothes' or 'rags'
because the meat, in its flavorful sauce, is finely shredded.

1. Season steak with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil
in a large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add steak and cook 5
minutes, turning once to brown. Add onion and enough water to cover. Cover
the saucepan and simmer about 2 hours and 15 minutes, adding water if
necessary, until meat is falling-apart tender.

2. Remove meat from saucepan. Strain cooking liquid; discard onion. Shred
the meat with hands or two forks; set aside.

3. Heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Add jalapeño pepper
and spice, cook 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant. Add pepper strips,
tomatoes, 2 cups of reserved cooking liquid and meat, remaining 1 tsp salt
and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix well; cook five to 10 minutes more to heat through.
