Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

6 slices bacon
4 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
3 serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
3 cups water
2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch squares
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans
½ onion, chopped
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
ground black pepper, to taste
1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
Combine the tomatillos, serrano peppers, garlic, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Transfer the contents to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. You can skip the simmering step and blend all the ingredients raw with a few pieces of browned flank steak if you like.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook the flank steak in the hot skillet until completely browned. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the beef and bring to a boil. Stir the chicken bouillon into the mixture, and reduce heat to medium. Cover the skillet and simmer until tender, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, heat the pinto beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warm; reduce heat to low to keep warm until needed. Stir the bacon and pinto beans into the flank steak mixture; divide the mixture between 6 bowls. Garnish each with onion, cilantro, black pepper, and a lime wedge.

Ingredients

8 oz bacon finely diced
1 ½ pound top round (sirloin or any other cut of meat without fat)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon of lime juice
Fresh ground pepper to season the meat
2 garlic cloves chopped
2 spring onions chopped
¼ cup cilantro
2 serrano peppers chopped
4 cups of chicken broth or 4 cups of water mixed with 4 teaspoons of chicken bouillon*
4 to matillos (cooked (Optional))
2 cups of cooked pinto beans (warm)
6 tbsp Crispy bacon pieces
3 tbsp Chopped white onion
3 tbsp Chopped cilantro
1-1/2c up Tortilla chips
1/3 cup Chopped radishes
6 onions Grilled spring onions
2/3 Avocado slices or guacamole
1 Lime wedges

Steps:

Finely cut the meat into thin slices and then into small cubes. Place the meat in a glass bowl. Mix soy sauce, lime juice, and pepper and add to the meat. Let the meat marinate for a few minutes while you cook the bacon.
Fry bacon in a medium-size Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot.
Add the meat to the pot and cook at medium heat for about 8 minutes, during this time the meat will release some of its juices.
While the meat is cooking, place chopped garlic, onion, cilantro and Serrano pepper into a blender with a cup of the broth and process until well blended. (If you are adding the tomatillos, add them in this step)
Pour this mixture over the meat, add the rest of the broth, and taste to season with salt as well as ground pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, place lid to pot and simmer for about 20 minutes or more until meat is tender. This last cooking time will depend on the cut of meat you are using.

CARNE EN SU JUGO (MEAT COOKED IN IT'S OWN JUICE)

Carne En Su Jugo (Meat Cooked in It's Own Juice) image

"Carne en su jugo" translates to "meat cooked its own juice". This recipe was passed down to me by my mother-in-law from Guadalajara Mexico. Its a delicious type of Mexican stew slow cooked in a green tomatillo based sauce. Wonderful served over beans with freshly grilled white corn tortillas. Select a well marbled chuck roast and I found peppered bacon gives a great flavor, but any "smoked" bacon will do nicely. Now I know the recipe says to use chicken bouillon and that may contradict some beef/poultry cooking rules but it is how the recipe goes. So don't reach for your beef bouillon instead of the chicken. Trust me :)

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 lbs chuck roast
10 slices bacon, diced
1 large onion, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
10 tomatillos, hulled and chopped
1 cup cilantro, de-stemmed
4 limes, quartered into wedges
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon

Steps:

In a large frying pan cook all the bacon to a nice crispy texture.
While the bacon is frying place the onion, garlic, tomatillos, bouillon and cilantro in a blender. Squeeze the lime wedges into the blender and mix well so everything inside forms a frothy uniformed consistency.
Remove bacon from the drippings and sear the roast on all sides in the bacon fat. This will ensure that the juices in side the meat are sealed in side. So make sure every raw spot is well browned.
After browning the meat return the bacon to the pan and pour the contents from the blender over the roast. Or transfer everything to a crock pot.
Cover and allow to simmer for 1 hour on the stove. If using a crock pot set for 6-8 hours but add 2 cups of water of beef broth.
Serve over black or pinto beans with grilled corn tortillas and enjoy.

Tips:

Use a tough cut of beef for this dish, such as chuck roast or brisket. These cuts will become tender and flavorful as they cook in the liquid.
Brown the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the pot. This will help to develop flavor and color.
Add plenty of vegetables to the pot. This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
Simmer the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
Serve the dish with rice, potatoes, or another starchy side dish.
