A healthy twist on my families favorite dish

Steak Ranchero brings back so many memories. Every other Wednesday, when my dad got paid, he always took us out to eat. We would head to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and we would always get the Steak Ranchero. My whole family loves it! I loved it! we all sat down and just enjoyed each other’s company. A lot of memories were made at that restaurant, The waiters knew all of our orders, they catered my sweet sixteen, I told my parents I was pregnant with my third baby there. So, steak Ranchero is always going to be dear to my heart.
What is Steak Ranchero, you may ask? Steak Ranchero is typically a beef roast, potatoes, onion and bell peppers. But, to keep this recipe low calorie and low carb we got rid of the potatoes and used a lower fat cut of meat but kept all the flavor.
Here’s what you need:
- 2 pounds of Chuck tender roast
- 1 large onion
- 3 large bell peppers
- 1-2 jalapenos
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- salt
- pepper
- garlic salt
- optional but I like to add chicken bouillon and El Pato for a little more flavor.
Directions:
- First thing you want to do is cut up your meat. Chuck tender roast has a silver skin left on it you want to carefully cut that off and slice beef into thin cubes.
- Season your meat well with salt pepper and garlic salt.
- Set aside.
- Next, you are going to cut your veggies.
- Cut your bell peppers removing seeds and cut into strips.
- Cut your jalapeno (you can leave seeds if you like your food spicy)
- Now, you want to peel and quarter your onion and tomatoes.
- Add all ingredients to a 6 qt Instapot
- Add 1/2 cup of water.
- Add about a pinch of salt.
- Cover and turn on pressure cooker to high pressure and let cook for 30 minutes.
