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 :)

Time 2h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

Number Of Ingredients 20

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

  • 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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds flank steak, cut into 4 even pieces
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, rubbed between the palms of your hands to release the oils
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped sweet onion
1 cup chopped tomato
2 serrano chiles, slit down the middle but kept whole
3 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
3 cups beef broth
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 radishes, thinly sliced
2 limes, cut into wedges
Tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the steak all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and then with the rosemary and cumin. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Place a 5-quart pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak, in batches if necessary, and brown on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, tomatoes, serranos, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Saute for about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and saute for 2 minutes more. Return the steak with its juices to the pot, along with the broth, beans, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup water. Stir to combine. Allow to come up to a simmer, then turn the heat to very low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 1 hour. Taste and add salt if necessary. Fish out and discard the serrano chiles.
  • Divide the steak and the mushroom-bean broth among 4 shallow bowls. Garnish with the chopped cilantro, sliced radishes and lime wedges. Serve with your favorite tortillas and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the meat. This will help to brown the meat and prevent it from sticking.
  • Sear the meat in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pot, or the meat will steam instead of brown.
  • Be patient and let the meat brown well. This will develop flavor and color.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are softened. This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
  • Season the dish with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the dish with rice, beans, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Carne en su jugo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of meats and vegetables. It is a great way to use up leftover meat, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give carne en su jugo a try!
