Directions
Prepare the Steak
Step 1
<p>Heat 1 tbsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with Adobo. Cook steak, flipping once, until dark golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes; transfer to plate. Add onions and garlic to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes more. Add beef bouillon mixture to pan; bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Return steak to pan; Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, flipping steak occasionally, until meat shreds easily with fork, about 2 hrs. Transfer steak to cutting board, reserving juice in pan. Shred steak; transfer to bowl and set aside. (Note: Shredded steak can be stored covered in refrigerator for up to 5 days.)</p>
Prepare the Sauce
Step 2
<p>Heat medium skillet over medium heat. Add chiles. Toast, turning once, until fragrant and slightly puffed, about 4 minutes. Transfer chiles to medium heat-proof bowl. Cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let soak, turning chiles occasionally until soft, about 30 minutes. Transfer soaked chiles, ½ cup chile soaking liquid, lemon juice, salt and 1½ cups reserved liquid and solids from pan to blender (discard remaining liquid from pan). Blend until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer chile sauce to small saucepan over medium heat. Bring chile sauce to boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. (Note: Sauce and be stored covered in refrigerator for up to 5 days).</p>
