Instructions
- Begin by slicing the steak into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare your vegetables. Slice the onions, peppers and finely chop the tomatoes.
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven, large skillet, or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak pieces to the pan, and cook until they are nicely browned.
- Add the sliced red onions to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the peppers, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, salt, dried chilies, chopped jalapeños, freshly ground black pepper, cumin, and dried oregano.
- Stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
- If desired, add water to the pan to create a saucier consistency. This step is optional and can be adjusted based on personal preference.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the flavors simmer together for about 10-15 minutes to allow the steak to absorb the seasonings.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve the Steak Picado hot and enjoy it with a side of fluffy rice, refried beans, or wrapped in warm tortillas.

Notes
- Choose sirloin, skirt, or flank steak for the best results. These cuts are known for their tenderness and flavor, making them ideal for this dish.
- Cut the beef into medium-sized pieces. Avoid cutting them too large, as they will take longer to cook, or too small, as they might disintegrate during the braising process.
- Once all the ingredients are combined, simmer the dish on low heat. This allows the steak to become tender and absorb all the delicious flavors.
- Before serving, don't forget to sprinkle some chopped parsley or cilantro on top to add a touch of freshness and vibrant color to the dish.
