Where to find ingredients
Salted dried beef can be found in the meat section of most supermarkets, often labeled as 'dried beef' or 'corned beef' depending on regional availability. Clarified butter is usually available in the dairy section of supermarkets or specialty food stores. Onions are a common produce item found in all grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Cut the salted dried beef into pieces of approximately 7 cm
- Wash the meat pieces well 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 the desalting process
- 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 bring to 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 preferred, shred the meat in a mixer on low speed until it reaches the desired texture
- Peel the onions and cut them into half-moon shapes 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
