Mami’s Carne Ripiá
(Shredded Beef)
Contributor:
Emy Triay
Country: Cuba
Ingredients:
2 pounds flank steak (cooked in water +
1 basil leaf + 1 teaspoon salt in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes at
medium heat)
1 medium sliced onion
5 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp
salt
1/8 tsp black grounded pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1
tablespoons olive oil (or less to sauté)
Directions:
Make sure meat is very tender and can
easily be taken apart. Drained the water (can be saved to cooked black
beans) from the meat and shred meat into thin strips. In a frying pan put
the oil and sauté the onion and garlic for a minute then add the meat and
cook on high heat until the meat begins to brown. Remove from stove serve
with white rice, black beans and fried plantains.
Personal Passage:
Carne "ripiá" (really "ripiada" or
"ripped" with a Cuban accent) over white rice reminds me of my husband,
who makes it better than anyone on earth and manages to surprise me with
some every now and then.
