Ranchero Steak is prepared with beef. Beef is a meat that has gotten a bit of a bad reputation and as a result it is avoided by many for health reasons, but this meat not only have nutritional benefits, but it contains vitamins like B12, zinc and iron. And to ensure that this dish remains healthy, we will choose a cut of beef that is low in fat. I will be using palomilla, this cut can be found at the meat department of La Bonita Supermarkets. I will be using palomilla for my recipe of Steak Ranchero/ Picado.
This recipe comes from my great grandmother and I have seen other variations of this delicious dish, but the one I will be sharing today is the one that was shared with me many years ago. This recipe uses serrano chiles which tends to be spicier than the jalapeño chile, so if you prefer less spice, reduce the number of chiles. Similarly, increase the number of chiles if you want more spice.
Enjoy!
