Beef Adobo Food

BEEF ADOBO

Steps:

• First, let's make the marinade and cut our beef into chunks. You could easily use beef short rib or beef cheeks.
• Mix the beef and the marinade together and let it sit in the fridge overnight or for about 8 hours.
• The next morning remove the beef from the marinade.
• Next, we will pat the beef dry with a kitchen cloth and sear it in a heavy-bottomed cast-iron skillet. Make sure it's dry otherwise it won't colour at all
• When the meat is seared you add the marinade straight to the pan and let it come to a boil.
• At this point you will think that I am taking you for a ride but, trust me, I'm not. The sauce will come to the boil and look terrible. Don't worry. This is just albumin from the meat juices and it coagulates on the surface. Just strain it through a sieve and put the meat and the strained liquid in an oven-safe dish.
• Wrap up with tin foil or close with a lid. Place in the oven at 150C for 3 hours or until the beef is soft and tender.
• We are braising this adobo. Until it's rich, soft and succulent. Once you have checked it and you think it's done. Your dish is technically ready.
• To thicken the adobo sauce. Pout the sauce into a small pot. Next, mix a bit of cornstarch with water to make a slurry.
• Bring the sauce to the boil and add the slurry while whisking. The sauce will thicken up slightly but should not be overly thick or glumpy.
• When done, add back the beef and serve with your side of choice.

• Increase heat to high; add beef & crushed red pepper flakes to frying pan; cook until browned on underside, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in garlic and bay leaf.
• Turn meat; when second side is brown, stir in pepper, soy sauce, and vinegar.
• Boil until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes.

BASIC ADOBO RECIPE

Steps:

• Toast the chiles in the oven for 2 minutes or until fragrant being careful not to burn.
• Place the toasted chiles in a sauce pan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil on medium heat covered for 15 minutes.
• Place the chiles (stems removed) in the blender reserving the water they were inches Add in all the other ingredients and blend on high to make a fairly thick paste. Add some of the reserved water if needed to thin the sauce out.
• Marinate your choice of meat in this paste for 6-8 hours and then grill the meat or you can pour the paste and reserved water in a large stock pot with the meat. Add additional water to cover the meat and slow cook it for 3-4 hours in the pot.
