MIMI'S VACA FRITA
Steps:
- 1) De-fat the brisket as much as possible. 2) Cut the brisket into 3" x 3" pieces. 3) Add the brisket to the pressure cooker and add water to cover by 1/2". 4) Add the whole 1/4 onion and a couple pinches of salt. 5) Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. (You may need more time depending on your cooker) 6) Allow to sit for an additional 15 minutes before releasing pressure. 7) Using the meat mallet pound the brisket to separate the fibers then shred. 8) Add the minced garlic to the shredded meat. 9) Add mojo and salt to taste. 10) Allow the meat to marinade for 1 hour. 11) Fry the sliced onions and the beef in 1-2 Tbsp of oil on medium-high until the beef is well browned and slightly crispy.
