Meat Marinade

Directions:
Place the marinade ingredients in the re-sealable bag. Then place the Stew Beef Chunks and massage the meat in bag and refrigerate the meat bag mixture overnight or 8 hours.

After marinating you can brown the marinated stew meat on medium heat in skillet or brown in a pressure cooker. (If cooking the meat in a pressure cooker, cook according to your pressure cooker directions, ours took 20 minutes to cook and we added 1 cup of water.) Also, you can cook the meat in a slow cooker adding 1 cup of water to crock pot with liner for easy cleanup and cook on low for 3-6 hours or until meat is tender.
*
After meat has cooked, sauté the peppers and onions in skillet with olive oil on medium heat or on grill pan until slightly tender.
*
Fill flatbread with cooked seasoned stew beef, vegetables and cheese. Wrap into a fajita “taco”.
The above stew meat was cooked in the pressure cooker along with the 1 cup of water or to your pressure cooker instructions.
Enjoy!
