Powdered Beef (Carne en Polvo)
Powdered Beef (Carne en Polvo)
Powdered beef is commonly eaten in Colombia as part of a bandeja paisa platter. Flank steak gets marinated, boiled, then pulverized in a food processor until it resembles a powdered form. Carne en polvo is great for little kids who might have a problem chewing pieces of steak. Not me. I was consuming meat at 6 months old like a champion.
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 5 cups watet
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1/2 cup white onion chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the flank steak in a storage bag with the garlic, green onions, white onions, cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 24 hours.
- Put the flank steak in a pot of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for an hour.
- Strain the meat. Let cool.
- Cut up the flank into chunks and place in a food processor.
- Process until it is finely shredded.
Pastrami Tacos
Pastrami Tacos
Another example of what good things marijuana can lead you to. I was getting sick of eating pastrami sandwiches, so my high ass changed it up into tacos. I diced some pastrami and sautéed it with sauerkraut. Then I heated the corn tortillas in the residual juices and assembled the tacos on the griddle; with swiss cheese and the sautéed pastrami and kraut. Finally, I topped off the tacos with finely chopped fingerling chilies. Needless to say, these tacos were amazing.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup pastrami diced
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup swiss cheese shredded
- 4 fingerling chilies finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat up the oil on a griddle over medium high heat. Add the diced pastrami. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add in the sauerkraut. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan.
- Add the tortillas to the griddle. Cook for 1 minute, then flip.
- Top the tortillas with the cheese, then the sautéed pastrami/sauerkraut mix. Cook for 3 minutes.
