Welcome the viewers and introduce the recipe.

Use 1.5 pounds of beef steak (10millo) cut into thin strips. You can cut it however you prefer.

Chop 3 tomatoes, 2 potatoes, a bunch of cilantro, and half an onion. Also, prepare 2 garlic cloves.

Heat a skillet with some oil or whatever you prefer for cooking.

Use a garlic press to crush the garlic. If you don't have one, finely chop the garlic instead.

Add the beef to the skillet to season it with garlic, black pepper, and salt to taste. Be cautious with the salt as the chicken bouillon is salty.

Stir well and cover the skillet until the meat changes color, stirring occasionally.

Decide how well done you want the meat; I prefer it well-done and tender before adding the vegetables.

Once the meat is cooked, add the chopped onion and poblano pepper, stirring well and cooking for about 3 minutes before adding the tomatoes.

After 3 minutes, add the chopped tomatoes and cover until they release their juices.

Prepare the potatoes by cutting them in half and slicing them into thin half-moons.

Once the tomatoes have released their juices, add 2 cups of boiling water to the skillet.

Cover again until it starts boiling, then add the potatoes and stir to integrate everything.

Add the chopped cilantro and both types of chicken bouillon.

Cover and let it boil, tasting for salt and adjusting as needed.

When the potatoes are tender, turn off the heat and serve the dish.
