Preparation
- Season the steak with salt, pepper, and cumin.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.

- Return the steak to the pot, then add the water and bouillon. Mix to dissolve the bouillon powder.
