Now, let’s talk about what you gonna need for this scrumptious beef dish:

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs of beef (flank or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup of coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeños or green chili peppers, chopped (optional for some heat)
  • Juice of 2-3 limes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

  1. First things first, you wanna marinate that beef. In a large bowl, combine the beef with lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes to soak in all those flavors.
  2. While that’s marinating, heat up a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and sauté the onions and garlic until they’re nice and fragrant.
  3. Throw in the marinated beef and sear it until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Once the beef is cooked through, reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk, jalapeños, and green onions. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes on low heat until everything is combined and creamy.
  5. Take it off the heat and taste it—season with more salt or lime juice if needed. Trust me, you want it to pop!
  6. Serve it up with some rice or tortilla and sprinkle that parsley or cilantro on top for a fresh kicker. You can even add some extra lime wedges on the side.

And there you have it, folks! A mouthwatering Beef Kelaguen that’s sure to be a hit. It’s all about sharing good food and good vibes. Enjoy cooking, and let the flavors take you on a journey!
