Carne Seca (Dried Beef)
Carne Seca (Dried Beef)
4 cups Carne de Res Deshebrada
Juice of 1 Mexican lime
2 Tbsp garlic puree
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
1/3 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup green chile, peeled, seeded & chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
2 Tbsp garlic puree
Preheat oven to 325 deg F
To “dry” the meat, toss it with the lime juice & 2 Tbsp garlic puree, place it on a cookie sheet, & bake it for 15 min, stirring occasionally
The meat should be quite dry & beginning to stiffen
If not, continue cooking a few more min
The meat can be prepared to this point & then refrigerated, if desired
To prepare the filling, heat a large skillet over moderate heat
Add the oil, then the onion, & saute it until it is just soft but not browned, 2 to 3 min
Add remaining ingredients & cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 min
Makes about 4 cups
