Carne Asado is a classic Mexican dish that is usually prepared by marinating steak overnight, but the recipe shared here is a quicker version that is perfect for weeknight dinner. The beef is seasoned with garlic, onion, cumin, and black pepper, and then seared until caramelized and flavorful. The tomato sauce and beef bouillon cubes enrich the flavor further to create a well-rounded and savory dish that is perfect for a hearty meal. This dish can be served with rice, beans, or tortillas to complete the meal.

Instructions

1.	Season the beef with garlic, onion, cumin, and black pepper.
2.	Heat oil in a pan and brown the beef on both sides, then remove from the pan.
3.	Whisk together tomato sauce, beef bouillon cubes, and flour in a bowl, then add to the same pan used to brown the beef.
4.	Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the beef to the pan and coat it with the tomato sauce.
5.	Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 1-2 hours until the beef is tender.
