  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Dry the steaks well with paper towels. Beat the steaks with a meat mallet.

  2. Add the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, paprika, cayenne pepper, parsley, onion powder and garlic powder to a bowl and mix well. Season the steaks on both sides with the seasonings.

  3. Next heat up a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil. Once hot, add two steaks at a time to the pot. Cook on each side for 2 minutes or until nicely browned. Transfer them to a plate then repeat with the remaining steaks adding more oil as needed.

  4. Add 1 tbs of oil to the pot if needed and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Next add the dried onion, beef bouillon, fish sauce, tomato paste, dried tomatoes and water. Let cook for a few minutes. Stir well to deglaze the pan.
