Categories     Steak

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large texas yellow onion, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup rotel diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, juice drained
1 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with juice
2 lbs top round beef (cut into 4 or 5 large pieces)

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pan with a lid, over medium heat, sauté onions, Ro-tel, red chili flakes, Tabasco, black pepper and cumin, adding a little water only as needed to keep the mixture from sticking.
  • Stir frequently, cooking until the onion is translucent and tender.
  • Add tomatoes with their liquid and stir well.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes.
  • There won't be much liquid at this point.
  • Add beef.
  • Reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-1/2 hours or until beef is thoroughly tender.
  • When beef has cooled, refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, shred beef pieces, using fingers.
  • Skim and fat from cooking juices and return beef to pan.
  • Reheat over low heat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef: Use flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast for the best results. These cuts are flavorful and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the meat to be more tender when it's cooked.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Carne machaca is best when it's cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Serve carne machaca with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Carne machaca is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover beef, and it's also a good source of protein and iron. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make carne machaca at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give carne machaca a try. You won't be disappointed!
