Preparation method
- Cut the salted dried beef into pieces of approximately 7 cm

- While the beef is still hot, shred it using two forks
- Discard any small pieces of fat or cartilage
- If preferred, shred the beef in a mixer on low speed until it reaches the desired texture

- Add the sliced onions and season with a pinch of salt
