Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef steak (e.g., sirloin or ribeye), cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Meat

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.

Cook the Meat

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Stir in the diced tomato, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Season and Combine

Add the paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Return the browned beef cubes to the pan and mix with the vegetables and spices. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and well-coated with the seasoning.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.

Enjoy your meal!
