Rub the beef with salt and allow it to rest for 1 hour.

In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, introduce the beef and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Incorporate the onion, jalapeño, oregano, and cumin into the pan, continuing to stir occasionally until the vegetables soften, which should take about 10 minutes.

Lower the heat to a simmer, add the tomatoes, and cover the pot. Stir every 5 minutes to avoid sticking, cooking until the meat becomes tender, approximately 45 minutes. Stir in the cilantro.
