Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium onion sliced to add a touch of sweetness and texture
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper providing a subtle hint of spiciness and warmth
  • 2 pieces of pasilla chili contributing a smoky and mild heat to the dish
  • 4 medium tomatoes ripe and juicy, sliced to add vibrant freshness
  • 2 pieces of guajillo chili lending a rich and fruity flavor with a mild spice
  • 4 tbsp sesame seeds toasted to perfection, adding a nutty and crunchy element
  • 1 tomato sliced to add freshness and a burst of acidity to the dish
  • 2 pinches of salt enhancing the overall seasoning and balance of flavors
  • 2 cups of water essential for cooking and creating a flavorful base
  • 1 medium onion sliced, adding a touch of sweetness and texture
  • 1 cup Chihuahua cheese melting into a gooey and indulgent layer of cheesy goodness
  • 1 tsp garlic powder adding a convenient burst of garlic flavor
  • 2 pinches of salt further enhancing the seasoning and taste of the beef
  • 2 cups cooked rice fluffy and aromatic, serving as a delicious base for the flavors
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil providing a smooth and even cooking medium
  • 1 medium avocado sliced, providing a creamy and buttery element to the dish
  • 1 cup Philadelphia cream cheese creating a rich and creamy sauce that complements the dish
  • 4 thin beef steaks tender and juicy, perfect for a delicious main course
  • 4 cloves of garlic aromatic and pungent, adding a depth of flavor

Instructions

  • Start by making the sauce. Heat a medium pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, garlic, pasilla chili, onion, guajillo chili, and sesame seeds. Fry all until lightly golden brown. Add the tomatoes and cook for two minutes before adding a pinch of salt and one cup of water. Simmer on low heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the steaks onto a cutting board and season them with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Place them onto a preheated skillet over medium heat and cook and salt. Heat a pan over medium heat and add one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Fry both steaks until golden brown on each side.
  • Assemble the Sabana De Res by layering a thin layer of cream cheese onto the bottom of an oven-proof dish. Place half of the cooked rice on top, followed by tomato slices, onion slices, and chihuahua cheese. Place the fried steaks over that layer, followed by another layer of cream cheese, and then the remaining rice, tomato, onion, and cheese.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375 °F (190 °C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Top with the sliced avocado and sprinkle with chihuahua cheese before you serve.
