For a richer flavor, brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Adjust the amount of adobo and sazón seasoning to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste. If you don't have red cooking wine, you can substitute with beef broth or water. Serve hot with white rice or mofongo (mashed plantains) for a truly authentic Puerto Rican meal.
