Notes
If you think jalapeños are too hot, you can use roasted poblano peppers.
Some of the juices will come out of the meat. Place the meat in a shallow dish to catch some of those juices and later return to the skillet to develop a deeper flavor.
You can use virtually any thin cut of beef to make this recipe. Or pound out a thicker cut of beef using a mallet.
Jugo Maggi Substitute:
- Equal parts dark soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
- It can also be replaced with Thai sweet soy sauce or mushroom soy sauce.
