ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
3 tablespoons Delicioso Adobo seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups beer
2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onions, chopped
1/4 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
1/4 green bell peppers or yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, ribbed and chopped
4 scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped
1 small tomato, cored, halved, and chopped
1 (small) can tomato paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Delicioso Adobo Seasoning

1
Cut the flank steak into large pieces and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the adobo and the Worcestershire sauce to make a paste. Rub the paste into the meat, add the beer, and let marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
2
Transfer the meat, as well as the marinade to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
3
Remove the meat from the pot and reserve the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, shred the meat and set it aside.
4
Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Add the onions, peppers, scallions, and tomatoes and cook until they are soft, 10 minutes.
6
Add the tomato paste and meat to the pan along with 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid.
7
Cover and simmer until the juices cook down, about 15 minutes.
