Best 7 Asado Negro Recipes

VENEZUELAN ASADO NEGRO

Steps:

• Prepare the beef: cut off any large, fatty membrane.
• Place the beef in a resealable bag and add salt and pepper to taste, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Seal and squish around to combine. Place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• When ready to cook remove meat from marinade. Discard marinade.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over high heat. When the oil starts to heat, add the sugar in the center of the pan and let it dissolve without stirring. Sear the beef on each side until nicely browned. Transfer beef to the slow cooker.
• Add onions, carrots, green pepper, oregano, bay leaves, beef stock, beef bouillon, and wines to the slow cooker.
• Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.
• Open the slow cooker and remove the beef. Discard the oregano sprig and bay leaves. Let the meat rest for 5 min and then place roast on cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
• Transfer the liquid and veggies to the blender and puree into a smooth sauce - it will change from a dark brown to a lighter brown color. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat. Add grated the papelon (brown sugar cane), mix well and simmer until the sauce turns a darker brown color and reduces by to a gravy consistency, about 8 - 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) if necessary. Add the sliced meat and simmer for 10 - 15 more minutes.
• Serve hot with mash potatoes or white rice.

ASADO NEGRO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the white sugar and 1 cup of water in a heavy saucepan and cook, without stirring, over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and turns dark caramel, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the brown sugar, vinegar and wine, and cook, stirring, until all the caramel has melted. Set aside.
• Heat a Dutch oven large enough to hold the meat over medium-high heat. When hot, add the canola oil and butter. When these begin to shimmer and foam, sear the roast on all sides. Transfer the meat to a platter and set aside.
• Add the garlic, onion, celery, leeks and bay leaves to the Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat until they have softened and almost begun to brown. Add the Worcestershire and soy sauces and stir to incorporate, then return the meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cover with the bell-pepper slices and pour the caramel sauce over the top. Cover, place in the oven and cook for approximately 2½ hours - basting and turning the meat every 45 minutes - until it is very tender.
• Remove the meat and allow it to stand on a platter, tented in foil, for at least 30 minutes. If the sauce is not syrupy and thick, remove the vegetables (discard the bay leaves) and arrange them around the meat, then place the Dutch oven, uncovered, over medium-high heat and allow the sauce to reduce.
• When the sauce is ready, slice the meat and return it, along with the vegetables, to the sauce and reheat in the oven or, covered, on the stove. Check the seasoning and garnish with chopped cilantro.

VENEZUELAN ASADO NEGRO RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl blend lemon juice with ginger garlic paste, red chilli flakes, black pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and mustard paste.
• Spread this spicy mixture thoroughly over the beef, adding salt too. Cover with aluminium foil and let it rest in a refrigerator for overnight.
• Now take a saucepan and add oil in it. Uncover the beef and start cooking it in the pan at a very high flame. Let the meat turn brown from all the sides and keep cooking until it gives an almost burnt appearance from outside, but not burnt actually.
• Add the grated papelon in the pan and allow it to caramelize at a medium heat. Now turn the sticky caramel in a way that the black meat gets completely coated with it.
• In a blender, add onions, spring onions, coriander leaves, red bell pepper, garlic and some amount of water, around 1 ½ cup. Blend these ingredients until an accordant sauce is formed.
• Add the sauce in the pan of caramelized beef and cook it at a medium heat. Keep the pan covered and check after every 10 minutes to make sure that the sauce is juicy and never dries up.
• The goal is to make the meat completely cooked and tender. This may take around 2 ½ to 3 hours.
• Blanch tomatoes in warm water for approximately 3-4 minutes and peel off the skin. Blend the tomatoes in a blender to make puree.
• Once the beef is cooked, add the tomato puree to give the sauce a thicker consistency. Let it cook for another 30 minutes on medium heat.
• Serve it in an enchanting platter, covered and coated with the flavourful dark sauce. Garnish with coriander leaves and olives.

ASADO DE PUERCO (MEXICAN PORK STEW)

Steps:

• Combine pork cubes, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until water evaporates. Continue cooking until the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut tops off the dried chiles and remove seeds. Heat chiles in a large skillet over low heat until they start to soften. Do not toast. Place chiles in a bowl of hot water and soak for 20 minutes.
• Remove pork and set aside. Do not wash, wipe out, or clean the Dutch oven.
• Transfer chiles to a blender, reserving soaking water. Add cilantro, chicken bouillon, peppercorns, garlic, cinnamon stick, Mexican oregano, thyme, cumin seeds, bay leaves, and cloves. Pour in 1 cup soaking water and blend until smooth. Add 1 more cup soaking water, season with salt, and blend until completely smooth.
• Melt lard in the Dutch oven. Carefully add blended chile mixture and scrape up all browned bits. Bring to a boil and add pork. Reduce heat and cover partially, leaving about 1 inch open. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and reaches the desired consistency, 15 to 20 minutes.

BEEF ASADO

Steps:

• Season the beef with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the diced onion and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to a 6-quart pot. Individually brown the beef chunks on all sides in the skillet and place in the pot. Add the tomatoes, crushed peppercorns, olives with their juice, quartered onion, bay leaves, and bouillon cubes to the pot; bring to a boil. Stir the ketchup into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 1 hour.
• Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Add the red bell pepper to the mixture and continue simmering another 30 minutes.
• While the mixture continues to simmer, heat 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Cook the potatoes in the oil until golden brown; immediately add to the simmering mixture.
• Slice the meat against the grain and add to the pot; stir. Cook together another 5 minutes before serving. If the sauce is too thin, mix the corn flour and water together and stir into the sauce to thicken.
