Where to find ingredients
Dried salted beef can be found at many supermarkets and specialty food stores. Clarified butter is available in most supermarkets, or can be made at home from unsalted butter. Onions and salt are common pantry staples available at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Cut the dried salted beef into pieces of approximately 7 cm
- Wash the meat pieces thoroughly under running water to remove excess salt
- Place the meat in a bowl and cover with cold water
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours, changing the water at least 3 times during desalting
- After desalting, drain the meat and rinse it again under running water
- Transfer the meat to a pressure cooker and cover with water, ensuring not to exceed the 2/3 volume limit of the pot
- Cover the pot and place over high heat
- As soon as the pot reaches pressure and starts to whistle, reduce the heat and cook for 30 minutes
- Turn off the heat and wait for all the pressure to release naturally before opening the lid
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked meat from the pot and place it in a serving dish
- While the meat is still hot, shred it using two forks
- Discard any small pieces of fat or cartilage
- If you prefer, shred the meat in a stand mixer on low speed until you achieve the desired texture
- Peel the onions and cut them into half-moons about 1 cm thick
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat
- Add the clarified butter to the heated skillet
- Add the sliced onions and season with a pinch of salt
- Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes, until they wilt
- Add the shredded dried salted beef to the skillet with the onions
- Stir and sauté for another 5 minutes
- Taste and adjust salt if necessary
