Bistec Encebollado Recipe (Beef with Onions): I don't know how many versions I've found. In the end I went ahead and created my own. It tastes incredible! 1½ pound beef round, [0.68 kg], sliced crosswise (¼" [0.5 cm]-thick aprox.) Place the beef in a zippy bag and add onion, oregano, pepper, vinegar, sugar, ½ cup of water and salt.
Beef lovers, you'll love this quick Colombian Carne en Bistec steak dish cooked with onions, tomatoes and cumin. Season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and garlic powder. Heat a large frying pan until VERY HOT. Add 2 tsp of oil then half of the steak and cook less than a minute on each side until browned.
The onions and tomatoes create a flavorful sauce which is wonderful served over rice. Serve this with an egg on top and it’s called Bistec a Caballo. My Mom is Colombian, and made this dish all the time when I was a kid, it was one of my favorites!
