Majestik Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 This is for Drunk_J who has been craving some authentic mexican food. This is how we do it in San Diego, anyway.... SHREDDED BEEF 2 lb. boneless beef chuck 1/4 c. water 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar 1 1/2 c. regular strength beef broth 2 tbsp. chili powder 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin Trim and discard most of the fat from the beef. Then place the beef in a 5-6 quart pan with water. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 30 minutes. (Watch carefully - don't let it burn and add water if necessary.) Uncover and cook, turning as needed, until liquid evaporates and meat is well browned. In a bowl combine vinegar, broth, chili powder and 1 teaspoon of the cumin. Pour over the meat. Continue cooking, covered, over a medium heat until the meat is very tender and pulls apart easily (about 2 hours). Let the meat cool, then shred and mix with the pan juices _________________________________ This recipe is very loose... I inevitably add extra spice and vinegar myself. Once you have this shredded seasoned beef, serve it as tacos on corn tortillas. Fry the tortillas in a little hot oil first... both sides... until they start to crisp, but before they are actually crisp.... i.e. they should still bend... you'll see. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, salsa picante (Chollula, Tapatia, etc). Salsa and/or Guacamole... maybe some shredded mexican cheese and diced tomato... I usually prepare my own salsas so I will post some of those later... Sorry it's not Q, but it is still exelente. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestik Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes... ....the Chuck Roll makes EXCELLENT tacos! Needs a little seasoning... but you can just throw it in a skillet and whip that together (vinegar/chile powder/cumin) in no time. Good stuff. I'll dig up my salsa real soon....

Porkchop Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 actually, a nice way to sorta move this "to the grill" would be to roast all the salsa ingredients there. onion, tomato, peppers... maybe even some lime slices?? for soft tacos, you could heat up a cast iron skillet on the upper grill and heat your tortillas on it and keep a nice dutch oven on the main grid with your beef filling. keep it all hot like a hot taco bar... maybe...

ThreeDJ16 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Just curious PC, I am working on a design along with the rib rotisserie for a vegetable roaster. I wonder how many folks would be interested? I love roasted chiles! -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
