Beef Taco.

I make this at least once a month.  I have accidently served this dish to a family twice in a row!  I love this recipe because it's so easy (though time consuming) and tasty. Like any other stewed meat, it tastes even better the next day.

                            

Beef Taco

Ingredients:

Oil

1 1/2 lb. beef chuck, cut into 3/4 inch cubes

1 cup salsa (I use El Torito bland)

1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth

2 Tbs. minced garlic

2 Tbs. dark brown sugar

1 Tbs. soy sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Cilantro, limes, sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortilla

1. Heat oil in pot over med-heat.  Grind black pepper on the beef cubes.  Fry the beef in the pan until brown.

2. Add salsa, broth, garlic, brown sugar and say sauce; bring to boil.  Reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

3.  Uncover the pot and continue to cook until the sauce thickens.  It depends.  I continue to cook 45 more minutes, but the original recipe says 5 minutes.  If you find it rather dry, you can add more broth to it.

4. Season with salt and pepper.  Mix in cilantro and lime juice.  

5.  Assemble tacos however you'd like with salsa, guacamole, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro and so on.
