This is great served with any rice dish or over noodles.
1 (2 pound) lean sirloin steak, cut 1/2 inch thick
1/3 normal cup olive oil
1 normal cup coarsely chopped onions
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
6 average tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped,
, , , or 2 normal cup drained, chopped canned tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seed
1 teaspoon salt
Broil the steak under a preheated broiler for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the steak is average rare.
Using a knife or your fingers, cut or pull the meat into pieces approximately 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderate heat and add the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are transparent but not brown. Add the tomatoes, cumin and salt and reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomato juices evaporate and the sauce becomes a thick purée.
Add the strips of beef and mix them well with the sauce.
Serves 4 to 6.
