Asado image

This is another recipe that my mother-in-law many years ago. She was a fantastic cook and I learned so much from her. Of course, she never used a recipe so I just had to watch and guess the measurement amounts. After some trial and error, I got my recipes as close to hers as possible. Of course, no one cooks as good as mama,...

PREPARE RED CHILI SAUCE
12 - 15 dried chili pods, new mexico chilies if you can get them
6 - 8 c water (or enough to cover peppers)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 - 2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp mexican oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
PREPARE PORK
3 - 4 lb pork roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes (leave some fat on for flavor)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp mexican oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp gound black pepper
1 c canola oil
1 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the red chili sauce: Rinse chili pods and place in a large pot. Put enough water to cover pods. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat and boil @ 20 minutes. Press peppers down occasionally to make sure they are covered with water. Remove from heat. Do not discard the liquid.
  • 2. Using tongs, remove each chili pod from pot, remove the stem and place the chili pods into a blender. (I do not remove the seeds....it's your choice) Add the 'Red Chili Sauce Seasonings'.
  • 3. Blend until smooth. You will need to add a little of the water that you boiled the peppers in to get the right consistency. It should be a glue-like consistency.
  • 4. Prepare the Pork: Season the meat with garlic salt and pepper..
  • 5. Put the flour and the other Pork Seasonings' into a large ziploc bag. Add the meat and shake until well coated with the flour.
  • 6. In a large skillet, heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil and brown the meat (in batches) until no longer pink but not completely done. Stir occasionally to keep meat from sticking. Add a little more oil with each batch so that the meat will brown. Remove each batch to a large pot.
  • 7. Once the meat is browned and placed in the large pot, add the remaining flour and chopped onion;stir well to combine. Pour in the chili sauce and 1 cup (or a little more) of liquid from boiling the peppers, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for @ 1 ½ hr. Stir often to keep from sticking.This should have the consistency of a thick, red gravy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover steak. I always have some leftover steak in my fridge and this recipe is a great way to use it up.

I used a different cut of meat than the recipe called for and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meat turned out a little dry. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The flavors were well-balanced and the cilantro wasn't overpowering.
