Mexican Beef Supreme

The reviews on this recipes spoke highly of it (4.5 stars out of 5) and that it is a keeper, with some revisions. I haven’t made it yet. For one, I don’t often eat or think of Mexican food but I’m trying to remember that many do.

One of the commentssaid , and those of us who have cooked with stew meat know, that stew meat doesn’t cook in 10 minutes or so. If it is to get tender, it takes about an hour and half. In my opinion, this would work well in a crock pot or perhaps those with Instant Pots.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 pound cubed beef stew meat

1 ½ tsp minced garlic

½ lime, juiced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

3 green onions, chopped

¼ c. chopped fresh cilantro, to taste

1 tsp dried oregano

1 (7 oz) can green salsa

DIRECTIONS:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the beef and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until meat is evenly browned.

While meat is cooking, stir together the lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, and green onion. When the meat is browned, stir in the cilantro mixture and oregano. Pour in the salsa, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is cooked through.

MY NOTES:

I read a few of the reviews and if you would like to read them as well, it is on All-Recipes.com.

One lady said she added extra salsa and let it cook for about an hour and half, letting the meat get tender and soak up the juices. Some then used it for tacos and burritos. Another review suggested adding the fresh cilantro in last.

We have often purchased a cheap roast and cubed it into stew meat. The recipe as-is was suggested to be served plain or over rice

As we have mentioned before, many recipes can be altered to one’s own taste. If you make this, please let me know what you did differently.

ENJOY!
