Instructions

Chunks of beef are unevenly cut into small pieces and spread loosely with irregular sizes and natural spacing and visible raw texture and slight color variation. The pieces appear slightly moist and freshly cut and they are not uniform which gives a homemade feel.
The beef pieces are placed together and covered with seasoning powders that cling unevenly and form light dusty coating over the surface. Some areas are more coated than others creating a natural uneven look and early flavor layering.
Chunks of butter sit unevenly on top of the seasoned beef and begin softening slightly while whole peppers are scattered irregularly creating contrast in color. Liquid from peppers lightly spreads creating glossy patches.
The beef transforms into a darker brown color and the butter fully melts creating a thick glossy sauce that coats each piece unevenly. The texture becomes softer and slightly shredded at edges showing tenderness.
A portion is plated with sauce dripping unevenly and peppers tucked between pieces and slight pooling of sauce visible around edges. The surface shows shine and soft texture with natural imperfections and non uniform color.

Notes

Pro Tips:

Use marbled beef for better tenderness.
Avoid over stirring to keep texture intact.
Let sauce naturally thicken during cooking.
Add extra peppers for stronger tang.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently to maintain texture. For longer storage freeze portions and thaw overnight before reheating.
