Shredded Beef In Green Salsa Food

SHREDDED BEEF IN GREEN SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• To a pot add your beef, onion, 2 cloves garlic, and salt to taste. Fill with water until just covered. Cook until tender approx 1.5-2 hours on the stove, 4-5 in a slow cooker on high or 7-8 on low.
• While the meat is cooking, to a pot add the jalapeños, tomatillos, 1/4 of an onion, 1 clove of garlic and about 1 1/2 cups of water.
• Once the tomatillos change color from green to a greenish-brown, remove them from the cooking process. Set them aside on a plate or dish. Do not let them overcook, they will turn bitter. You can remove the onion and garlic at this time too.
• Let the jalapeños cook for another 5 minutes and turn off the heat.
• Blend jalapeños (stems removed), garlic, onion, tomatillos, handful of cilantro, 1 tsp of salt and 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth about 30-45 seconds.
• Set your salsa aside until we're ready to use.
• When your meat is ready and tender pull it out of the hot cooking liquid and shred it with a fork.
• To a frying pan add 1 tablespoon of oil and your shredded beef. Stir the beef in the oil for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add approx 1.5 cups of the green salsa to your shredded beef and stir to combine. Add more as needed or desired.
• Cook for approx 10 minutes so that all the flavors combine.
• You can now enjoy as a taco, burrito, or with some beans and rice.

HILACHAS (GUATEMALAN SHREDDED BEEF IN TOMATO-TOMATILLO SAUCE)

Steps:

• Place the beef, water and a big pinch of salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
• Remove the beef to a bowl, reserving the broth, and set aside to cool
• When cool enough to handle, shred the beef with your fingers and set aside.
• While the beef is simmering, place the onion, tomatoes, tomatillos and chiles in a food processor or blender and puree, adding a little water if necessary.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium flame. Add the onion-tomato puree and simmer until the puree is cooked down and darkens somewhat in color, about 10 minutes. Do not burn.
• Add the shredded beef and about 3 cups of the broth to the onion-tomato puree and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the potatoes, onions and a little more broth or water if necessary Simmer until the potatoes and carrots are cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
• Stir in the breadcrumbs to thicken the sauce.
• Then stir in the chopped cilantro, adjust seasoning and serve hot with corn tortillas or rice.
• *Variations.
• Use 1 or 2 shredded fresh corn tortillas to thicken the sauce instead of the breadcrumbs if you like. If the sauce has thickened enough while simmering, neither thickener may be necessary.
• Add 2 teaspoon achiote seasoning to the onion-tomato puree for added flavor. Bricks of achiote seasoning can be found at many Latin markets.
• The potatoes and carrots can be eliminated if you like.
• Canned tomatoes and tomatillos work just fine in this recipe.
• Two cups of chopped tomatoes can be used if you would like to eliminate the tomatillos.
• If you can't find guajillo chiles, use anchos or pasillas. Or substitute with 1 tablespoon of paprika and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
