Prepare 3 pounds of beef steak for cooking.

Chop red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and white onion into thick pieces.

Boil the tomatoes to make a sauce, adding a piece of garlic and a bit of salt to the water.

Once the tomatoes are soft, remove them from the water and blend them until smooth.

In a hot pan, add olive oil and fry the beef steak until tender, seasoning with salt and a bay leaf.

Cover the pan to help the meat cook evenly and become tender.

After the meat is tender, add the blended tomato sauce to the pan with the beef.

Season the mixture with salt and cumin to taste, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.

While the beef is cooking, fry the potatoes in hot oil until golden brown.

In another pan, fry 2 eggs sunny-side up.

Once the beef is cooked, add chopped cilantro and mix it into the sauce.

Serve the beef with a portion of fried potatoes and the fried eggs on the side.

Garnish the plate with slices of avocado and additional cilantro.
