Where to find ingredients
Dried beef can be found in Latin American markets or specialized butcher shops. Bottled butter (clarified butter) is available in most supermarkets, often in the international foods aisle or near other cooking oils and fats.
Preparation method
- Cut the 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
- Leave in the refrigerator 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 limit of the pot's volume
- Close the lid and place over high heat
- As soon as the pot reaches pressure and starts to whistle, lower 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 it reaches 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 bottled 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 beef to the skillet with the onions
- Stir and sauté for another 5 minutes
- Taste and adjust salt if necessary
- Serve immediately
