Shredded beef cooked with tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro.
Ingredients
- The Meat ~ shopping list
- 1 1/4 lb skirt or flank steak, with some fat shopping list
- 1 small white onion, roughly chopped shopping list
- 3 cilantro sprigs shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped shopping list
- sea salt to taste shopping list
- The seasonings ~ shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons of lard or safflower oil shopping list
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 1/4 lb tomatoes (4 medium), unpeeled and finely chopped shopping list
- 4 (or to taste) canned chiles serranos en escabeche (pickled serranos) shopping list
- 3 rounded Tablespoons of chopped cilantro shopping list
- 1/4 of reserved beef broth from cooking the meat shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the steaks along the grain into 2 inch pieces. Put the meat in a
- saucepan with the onion, cilantro, garlic, and salt. Barely cover
- with water. Simmer until tender — about 25 minutes for skirt steak and 35 for flank.
- Allow meat to cool in broth. When cool enough to handle, remove from broth. Strain broth and set aside. Remove any gristle from meat and shred the meat roughly. Set it aside.
- In a heavy pan, heat the lard, add onion and garlic, and fry gently
- without browning until translucent. Add tomatoes and continue cooking over high heat, stirring from time to time, until mixture has reduced and thickened (about 8 minutes).
- Add the shredded meat, chiles, cilantro, and broth. Taste for salt. Cook over medium heat, covered, for about 5 minutes longer.
- *I have used white onions and yellow onions for this recipe, and the dish tasted just fine to me, treating yellow and white onions as interchangeable with no ill effects. I also didn't have any pickled serranos on hand, so I used whole jalepeños. I served it up on sopes, but it would also go well with gorditas, rice or served as soft tacos. (For tacos, you may want to shred it more finely.)
