Carne en su Jugo
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 tomatillos, husked and chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the vegetable oil to the pot with the bacon fat. Season the thinly sliced beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Cook the beef until browned on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion, tomatillos, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked beef to the pot, along with the crispy bacon. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the drained and rinsed pinto beans, then let the mixture simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Serve the Carne en su Jugo hot, accompanied by warm tortillas or rice.
