Churrasco is a popular beef stew in many Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. It's traditionally made with skirt steak, which is a flavorful and relatively inexpensive cut of beef. The beef is slow-cooked for several hours until it's fall-apart tender, then combined with sautéed peppers and onions for a delicious and comforting meal. This version of churrasco is easy to make and can be customized to your liking with different spices and seasonings. Serve it with rice or your favorite side dish for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, mix together the sazon seasoning and black pepper.
2.	Place the skirt steak in a large pot or Dutch oven and rub the seasoning mixture all over the meat.
3.	Add enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil.
4.	Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
5.	When the beef is done, remove it from the pot and let it cool.
6.	Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté the peppers, onions, and garlic until tender.
7.	Shred the beef and add it to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
8.	Serve with rice or your favorite side dish.
