For this Puerto Rician Bistec Encebollado (Steak and Onions), use any cut of steak to make this easy beef stew recipe. It is a one-pan meal and a great meal for a busy weeknight.

How to Make Puerto Rican Bistec Encebollado

Because the meat will need time to marinate, this is a meal you’ll need to plan ahead for. Start by marinating the beef in oil, oregano, vinegar, and onions in a ziplock bag or airtight container for at least 4 hours. When you are ready to cook, empty the contents of the bag into a large heavy skillet. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Maintain a simmer without it boiling over for about 40 minutes.

Bistec Encebollado is a staple in Puerto Rican cooking and is usually served with white rice and tostones. Water can be used in place of beef stock if desired.
