• 2 sachets of seasoning for meat
• 1 glass of vinegar
• 1 spoon of olive oil

Preparation mode:

Start by placing the pieces of meat in a bowl along with a sachet of sazon and a spoonful of olive oil. Set aside and let the seasoning penetrate the meat. Meanwhile, in another bowl, chop the onion into slices and soak in the vinegar with the other sachet of Sazon.

Once that’s done, it’s time to fry the steak! Place the steak in the pan for about 2 minutes each side.

Then use the same oil you used to fry the meat to fry the onions. Just take them out of the vinegar and place them in the oil until they fry. After that, just place the onion under the steak and serve!
