About 4-5 minutes.
Remove beef from skillet.
Add all the onions and jalapeños to the skillet.
Season with salt.
Cook for 5 minutes or until all the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic clove and return the beef to the skillet.
Mix and taste for good measure.

Enjoy!
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.
