Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, green chile peppers, and chipotle peppers. Bring to a simmer. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
1 hrs

Stir shaved steak, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and cinnamon stick into the saucepan. Bring back to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until steak is very tender, about 1 hour.

03

Step
1 mins

Discard cinnamon stick and stir cilantro into the saucepan. Serve immediately. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your preferred level of spice.
Shred the steak with two forks for a more authentic shredded beef texture.
Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the shaved steak with crumbled tofu or black beans.
