Turn off the heat and let the brisket cool in the cooking liquid to room temperature. Drain the brisket, discard the water and cool completely.

Cook for about 5 minutes each side. Scoop the shredded beef salad onto the grilled tostada and garnish with some avocado slices.

TOSTADAS DE SALPICON (SHREDDED BEEF)



Tostadas de Salpicon (Shredded Beef) image

Tostadas are a common dinner at our home. I fry my own corn tortillas since I think they taste so much better than store bought. I also fry my own pinto beans in bacon drippings. But for ease and convenience store bought will do. We top our tostadas with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

Beef
1 1-pound flank steak
1 white onion, quartered
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
4 whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Assembly
2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 hearts of romaine lettuce, cored, leaves quartered crosswise
6 radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 avocados, halved, peeled, pitted, sliced
Bowl of corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • For beef:
  • Place steak in large pot. Add enough water to cover steak by 2 inches (about 10 cups). Add onion, salt, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Bring to boil over high heat, skimming any foam from top of cooking liquid. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add oregano. Simmer un-covered until steak is tender, adding more water to cover steak if necessary, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until meat and liquid are cold, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Remove steak from liquid, reserving liquid. Trim excess fat. Cut steak crosswise into 3 pieces, then shred coarsely. Transfer beef to large bowl. Add enough cooking liquid to bowl to cover beef completely.
  • For vinaigrette:
  • Whisk vinegar, lime juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. (Shredded beef and vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring vinaigrette to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
  • For assembly:
  • Combine tomatoes, red onion, and 3 tablespoons vinaigrette in medium bowl; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drain all cooking liquid from shredded beef. Add lettuce, radishes, and cilantro to bowl with beef. Mix in enough of remaining vinaigrette to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide salad among plates; surround with tomato mixture. Garnish with avocado slices. Serve with corn chips.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality beef broth. You can use store-bought or homemade broth.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the beef overnight, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to cook the beef until it is fork-tender. This will ensure that it is nice and juicy.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the beef in a Dutch oven over low heat for about 2 hours.
  • To make the salpicón salad, simply combine the shredded beef with the other ingredients and toss to coat.
  • Serve the salpicón salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:
