Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak
  • 5 cups water
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 Scallions chopped
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the flank steak in a plastic bag and add the garlic, scallions, onion cumin, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for about to 2 hours.
  • In a medium pot, place the flank steak and water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beef for about 1 hour or until the beef is cooked.
  • Remove the beef from the water and set aside to let it cool. You can save the water used to cook the beef to make soup or just as a beef stock for other dishes.
  • Cut the beef into chunks and place in a food processor. Process until the beef is of a powdered consistency as indicated in the picture.

Notes

*I like to use flank steak for my carne en polvo recipe, but you can also use skirt steak if you prefer,
*Add  1 cup of hogao to this recipe if you want more flavor and mix it in a pan for couple of minutes.
