Beef and Plantain Stir-Fry

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the beef strips with the soy sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced plantains and cook until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the plantains from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir well.

6. 6

   Return the beef and plantains to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.

7. 7

   Serve the Beef and Plantain Stir-Fry hot, garnished with additional salt and pepper if desired.
