Cut the packet steak into two pieces each, totaling ten pieces.

Rinse the steak in cold water and clean it with vinegar.

In a bowl, add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of parsley flakes, 1 packet of sazón, 4 smashed cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of sofrito, and 1 teaspoon of adobo to the cleaned steak.

Mix the ingredients with your hands or a utensil until well combined.

In a skillet, heat 1/3 cup of oil and add 1/4 cup of vinegar.

Turn the heat to medium and add the seasoned steak along with any remaining seasoning from the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and cover it to let it boil.

After 10 minutes, flip the steak over and cook for another 10 minutes.

Uncover the skillet and add the can of tomato sauce, stirring gently to avoid splattering.

Cover the skillet again and cook for another 10 minutes.

Flip the steak once more and add the sliced onions, then cover for 5 to 7 minutes until the onions are cooked.
