Nothing beats steak and onions with the (occasional) beer during summer – another recipe for you to try out only this time, you don’t need a grill. This recipe works better with a skillet or for more ease, a slow cooker.

Let’s get started.

Grill Memoirs: Mouth Watering Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions) Recipe

I always believe in function before flavor, but like many of the recipes I share on the SUPP UP. blog, this recipe hits the mark with both. It’s packed with protein and flavor, and provides a good hit of sulfur from the onions which, if you read the SUPP UP. At Home Nutrition Guide, you’ll understand the importance of when it comes to anti-inflammation and antioxidants, among other benefits.

Here’s the recipe.

Mouth Watering Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions) Recipe

Makes: 4 servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes if you already have some sofrito made, if not, it’ll be around 25 minutes.

Marinade Time: 4-5 hours

Cook Time: Approx. 1 hour in a skillet or 4 hours in a crock pot (slow cooker) on High (8 hours on Low).

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes to 4 hours 25 minutes depending on if you use a skillet or slow cooker.

Items Needed:

• A skillet or crock pot / slow cooker
• A bowl to marinate the meat
• A few knives
• A chopping board

Ingredients:

Marinade & Steak:

• 750 g (1.5 lbs) steak
• 1 Sazon Goya con cilantro y achiote packet
• 1 tsp adobo seasoning
• 3 Tbsp melted butter
• 3 Tbsp Sofrito (this is really easy to make, click here for an easy recipe)
• 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (ACV)
• 2 Tbsp chopped garlic
• 2 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp pepper

Bistec Encebollado:

• 240 ml (8 oz) tomato sauce
• 2 onions cut into rings
• 2 Tbsp sofrito
• 2 Tbsp frying oil
• 1 Tbsp butter

Instructions:

I’m doing the slow cooker version of this. The only difference is I’ll be putting everything into a slow cooker. If you don’t have one, just follow the cook time mentioned above. Everything else stays the same if you’re using a skillet except for the time and the amount of water.

1. Cut your steak into thick strips and marinate it with all the marinade ingredients for 4-5 hours, or overnight.
2. Once marinated, sear your steak without the marinade using the ‘saute’ function on your slow cooker on both sides (or just use a skillet). Once it’s browned, add the rest of the marinade with 1 cup of water (1.5 cups for a skillet) and set the slow cooker to HIGH for 20 minutes.
3. Stir in the sofrito and tomato sauce, mixing it well, then set the slow cooker to HIGH for 4 hours (or 1 hour in a skillet covered). I’d say stir it halfway through and check it At least twice for the liquid, adding more if the sauce is too thick for your liking. Make sure to taste it each time and add adobe based on how much seasoning you want.
4. 25-30 minutes before the slow cooker finishes up, saute the onion rings in a skillet in butter and oil until caramelized slightly and add them in at least 20 minutes beforehand (5 minutes beforehand if you’re using a skillet). If you don’t care about the onions being sauteed, just put them in 40 minutes (10 minutes with a skillet) beforehand.
5. Serve it up with some fries on the side, or more traditionally, rice, black beans, and tostones for a full meal. Don’t forget the beer (keep it under 2, 3 at a stretch but only if you’ve earned it with your workouts).

Macros for this one are pretty good per serving – you’re looking at about 51 grams protein, 12 grams carbs of which is 3 grams fiber (without the rice/black beans), and 38 grams fat.

I tweaked this recipe for a slow cooker and my own taste – the original can be found on Gypsy Plate.
