    What is Sudado de Posta o Muchacho?

    It is a beef stew made with beef eye round roast, vegetables and spices. This dish is very popular in Colombian homes. It is very easy to make and absolutely delicious served over white rice, along with avocado and a simple salad on the side.

    This Sudado de Posta was one of my favorite dishes while growing up in Colombia. Both my mom and Mamita made varying types of sudado at least once per week. In some parts of Colombia, this recipe is made with a cut of meat known as posta, while other areas of the country use a cut called muchacho. Here in the USA, I buy eye round beef steak to make this dish.

    The meat should be tender and because this particular cut is tough, it needs to be cooked for quite a while. The slow heat helps break down the muscle of the beef and make it tender. I would suggest cutting it into thick slices, as I did, and cooking it on medium-low heat until the beef is tender. Also, to give the beef enough time to stew, I first cooked the meat alone and then added the vegetables closer to the end of cooking.

    My grandmother and mom always used the pressure cooker to make this stew and the cooking time is less than a regular pot. Personally, pressure cookers scare me, so I prefer making it in a regular pot or the slow cooker. If you love stews and comfort food, this Sudado de Posta recipe will be right up your alley.

      Hi Erica from Spain
      I make this dish using pork loin, likewise cut into thick slices and use a slow cooker which usually ensures that even the toughest meat is fork-tender.

      I tried this recipe but added less water, it was really delicious I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. My parents are Colombian but they never taught me how to cook the traditional food so I’m teaching myself. A lot of your recipes are foods that I grew up eating I’m so happy I found your page.
