If you enjoy this recipe, you’ll have to check out bistec con papas (Mexican steak and potatoes) next!
I used ribeye steak for this recipe.
It is on the expensive side which is why we don’t have it very often.
But it’s ok to splurge every now and then right?
When we’re trying to reduce our spending we often enjoy papas a la Mexicana (Mexican style potatoes) instead which are also insanely good!
