Ingredients

• 1 lb ribeye steak
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove it from the skillet, let it rest, and then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Chop the chipotle peppers finely and stir them into the skillet along with smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to partially cook the potatoes.

Step 8

Stir in the sliced steak pieces and mix everything together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
