Ingredients
Ingredients
boneless round steak
1 lb (cut into thin strips)
medium onion
1 (slivered)
dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon (none)
oil
2 teaspoons (to taste)
beef broth or red wine
3/4 cup (none)
diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can (do not drain)
mexicorn
2 (11 ounce) cans (drained & rinsed)
white rice
as needed (cooked)
Instructions
1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons of oil. Once hot, add the thinly sliced steak and slivered onions. Sear the meat for a few minutes until browned but still pink in the middle.
2
Sprinkle the dried thyme over the meat and onions, then carefully pour in the beef broth or red wine. Allow the liquid to simmer and reduce for about 10 minutes, ensuring it thickens without raising the heat too high to avoid overcooking the steak.
3
Once the liquid has reduced, add the diced tomatoes along with their liquid. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, letting it simmer for an additional 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
4
After 15 minutes, add the drained and rinsed mexicorn to the skillet. Stir well and heat just enough until the corn is warmed through.
5
Serve generously over a bed of cooked white rice, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
