Ingredients
  

For The Sauce

  • 2 Guajillo peppers
  • 1 cup Hot water
  • 8 Romatomatoes
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 tsp salt

For The Steak and Potatoes

  • 2 lbs Top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 10 Russet potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 Onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut the Guajillo peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and veins.
  • Place the Guajillo peppers into a bowl and add hot water. 
  • Place a plate on top of the Guajillo peppers to prevent them from rising up and soak them for 30 minutes until soft. 
  • Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, onions, and garlic onto a baking sheet. 
  • Turn your oven to broil. Cook the vegetables for 5 minutes. Turn the vegetables over and cook them for an additional 5 minutes. 
  • Drain the Guajillo peppers and add them to a blender along with the broiled vegetables, cold water, and salt. Blend until smooth.  

Steak and Potatoes:

  • To make the steak and potatoes, add a tablespoon of olive oil to a large pot.
  • Add the top sirloin steak and cook it for 5-8 minutes until it is no longer pink.
  • Add the rest of the oil and fry the onions for around 3 minutes. Add in the russet potatoes and start browning the meat and potatoes for about 20 minutes.
  • Once browned, add the sauce and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes on low heat until the steak and potatoes are tender. Serve with your choice of side and drink and enjoy your Bistec Con Papas.
