  "instructions": "Cook the meat: Place the flank steak in a pot with broth or water and salt. Cook over low heat for about 2 hours, until tender and easy to shred.\r\nShred the meat: Once cooked, drain and shred the meat using two forks.\r\nPrepare the vegetables: Saut\u00e9 chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a little oil. Add cumin, oregano, paprika, and salt. Stir in the meat and cook for a few minutes until the flavors are well combined.\r\nMake the dough: In a bowl, mix the cornmeal with warm water and salt until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.\r\nForm the arepas: Divide the dough into 6 portions, shape into balls, and flatten into thick discs.\r\nCook: Cook the arepas on a griddle or skillet over medium heat for 2\u20133 minutes on each side until golden. You can then bake them for a few minutes if you prefer them crispier.\r\nFill: Slice the arepas open on one side, fill with the hot shredded beef, and top with grated cheese.",
