Steps

1. Wash and chop the ingredients5 min
First, wash the meat with water and wash the vegetables. Then, on a cutting board, chop the meat into pieces. Slice the onion into half-moons, and chop the jalapeño pepper and tomato into pieces.
2. Season the meat3 min
Next, season the steak with a little salt (or to taste), garlic powder, and ground pepper.
3. Fry the meat8 min
Once we’ve seasoned it, we’ll pour it into a skillet over medium-high heat with a little hot oil and cook it for about 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally so it cooks thoroughly, as shown in the image.
4. Sauté the vegetables4 min
After the meat has cooked for a few minutes, add the onion and jalapeño pepper to the pan and sauté over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the tomato and let it simmer.10 min
When the vegetables are halfway cooked over medium heat, add the tomato. Finally, cover the skillet and let the flavors meld for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
