What kind of beef cuts can I use for this recipe?

There are several different cuts of meat you can use for this recipe. My favorite Peruvian restaurant near me uses filet mignon, but today, I used a simple sirloin steak, but skirt would also be delicious!

The thing to keep in mind when cutting up your meats is that they need to have an even thickness, so they cook at the same rate throughout cooking time – don’t go too thick on one side and thin out towards the other edge; otherwise, things will get tough before medium rare (or worse) if not raw!).
