Instructions
"Bistec a lo Pobre"
Tenderize your meat you can use a pan to make it flat, a tenderizer, rolling pin, then you marinate your meat with some honey, sugar, salt, and vinegar (optional) (leave it on the fridge for at least 2 hours)
Season your meat, and cook it on a hot pan then reserve, repeat the same process with eggs and plantains.
Serve with salad and some Chimichurri on top of the meat
Huacatay Chimichurri
Add all the ingredients into a bowl, use a whisk or spoon to combine them evenly, reserve
Salad
Add your greens, peppers, and radishes into a bowl then reserve.
mix honey, vinegar, salt, pepper, and oil, then pour it into the previous mix.
Notes
Tenderizing the meat is not a must, it will depend on the cut of meat you decide to go for, I used Skirt Steak this time but you can use any cut you like.
