Peel the green plantains, ensuring to clean off any remaining peel.

Cut the plantains into medium-sized pieces, avoiding small cuts to achieve the desired texture.

Boil the plantain pieces in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes, checking doneness with a knife or fork.

Drain the plantains and transfer them to a bowl to mash while they are still hot.

Use a kitchen utensil to mash the plantains, leaving some lumps for texture.

In a separate pan, heat manteca de chancho (or butter) and add finely chopped white onion, cooking for a few minutes.

Add the mashed plantains to the pan and mix well with the onion and manteca, allowing the mixture to toast slightly for texture.

In another skillet, heat oil and add beef strips, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Cook until the beef changes color.

Create space in the skillet and add chopped garlic, being careful not to burn it.

Add sliced red onion to the skillet, using a quantity similar to the beef.

Mix two tablespoons of tomato sauce with one cup of water and pour it over the beef, covering to cook for about 10 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as needed.

Incorporate diced tomato, green bell pepper, and chopped cilantro into the beef mixture, cooking briefly to maintain their freshness.

Serve a generous portion of the mashed plantains topped with the beef and its sauce, garnished with fried egg.
