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.

Steps:
- Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until completely cooked through and soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and chiles to the jar of a blender along with the cilantro and a teaspoon of salt. Puree until completely smooth and set aside.
- In a large casserole or Dutch oven, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add the streak to bacon fat and cook until it starts to render all its juices. Once it does, add the onion and the broth. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
- Incorporate the tomatillo puree and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until meat is completely tender and broth has seasoned.
- Serve the carne en su jugo in bowls along with a ladle of cooked pinto beans, and top with the crisp bacon. Place chopped white onion, cilantro, and lime wedges on the table for everyone to add as they please. You can serve with warm corn tortillas and a side of fresh guacamole.
CARNE EN SU JUGO (MEAT COOKED IN IT'S OWN JUICE)
"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 :)

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.
CARNE EN SU JUGO, ESTILO TAPATIO
Adapted from Savoring Mexico and tweaked for our personal tastes. This is a dish from Jalisco that is indescribably delicious. It's a gorgeous soupy, spicy dish that is somehow hearty and light at the same time. If you use canned beans or they are already cooked - it is great for a weeknight soup and a sandwich! My times are estimates, as I had to make this in steps & more steps(depending on availability of kitchen)!
