Broil the steak under a preheated broiler for about 5 minuted on each side,

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

until the tomato juices evaporate and the sauce becomes a thick puree. Add
the strips of beef and mix them well with the sauce. Serves 4 to 6.

NOTES : This Venezuelan dish comes from a friend who cooked it for us in
her home one night. She served it with black beans and rice, which you can
do if you want, but it goes great with any rice dish and can also be served
on top of noodles.
