Carne Aravada Recipes

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Cook uncovered for 4 hours. Turn off heat and check for tenderness, but do not stir.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and beef cubes. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Combine the chile powder, minced garlic, and oregano in a small bowl. Add enough of the beef cooking water to make a paste. After 30 minutes, stir the spice paste into the beef mixture.
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook flour, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Take 1 cup of the spiced cooking water and whisk it into the flour mixture until smooth. Stir in the cumin, chopped parsley, and salt.
• Transfer the thickened sauce mixture into the saucepan with the beef. Simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• In a skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in flour and brown until light golden brown. Blend in chile powder. Slowly add water, stirring until lumps are removed. Add garlic, oregano, cumin and salt. Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Place pork in a large baking pan or casserole pan. When chile mixture has cooled, add it to pork and mix until pork is covered with chile. Marinate pork for at least 12 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bake pork in preheated oven for at least 4 1/2 hours, or until meat is well cooked, tender and falls apart.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. In an ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and sauté the pork pieces until they have a golden sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the chile sauce, cilantro, cumin, canela, and allspice and cover the pan. Transfer the covered pan to the oven and bake until the pork is tender, about 40 minutes, stirring the mixture at least twice during cooking.
• Remove from the oven and serve right away with a slotted spoon or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
• To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with garnish and salsa. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with garnish and salsa, fold, and eat right away.
