Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 medium russet potatoes or 3 smaller potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 lb breakfast steak or any other thin steak thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1/2 medium white or yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 chile Anaheim, jalapeño or serrano peppers (see note 1) remove seeds for less spicy dish
  • 3 Roma tomatos
  • 4 oz tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt or more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black ground pepper or more to taste
  • 1 cup water or more if needed while cooking

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes and spread them on the skillet to cook evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
  2. Remove from the skillet and place in paper towels to drain oil. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  3. In same skillet, remove carefully most of the oil, only leaving about two tablespoons behind.
  4. Over medium heat, cook the beef & garlic until the meat is almost all cooked through. About 4 minutes.
  5. Add the onions and peppers and cook until onions start to soften. About 2 minutes. If this mixture is starting to dry, add about 1 cup of water.
  6. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Once the tomatoes are soft, add the potatoes and mix well. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes to blend all of the flavors together.
  8. Taste and add salt & pepper to see if it needs more.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of chiles. For this recipe I used 1 Anaheim pepper and one jalapeño for a mild flavor. If you like it more spicy add serrano peppers.
