SWColombian patacones🍌🥩🇨🇴 >
I was craving a home-cooked meal, the way my grandma used to make it. Slow cooked shredded beef with a guiso over a crunchy patacon (Colombian fried plantain). Who will keep her recipes and traditions alive if I don’t learn to cook like her?
💫Ingredients:
3 green plantains
4 lbs beef
1 red onion
1 red pepper
2 carrots
1 tbsp paprika
1 1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp dry parsley
1 1/2 cups water
1 tomato
Green onions
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 quart frying oil
1 avocado
2 tbsp lime juice
1 jalapeño
Cilantro
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp salt
Add beef, red onion, pepper, and carrots to a Dutch oven or pressure cooker. Follow with spices, paprika, pepper, and parsley, and cover with water. Cook on low heat, covered, for 2 1/2 hours using a Dutch oven and about 1 1/2 hours using a pressure cooker. You will know it’s ready once you can easily shred the beef and the vegetables become soft.
To make the guiso/hogao, dice tomato and green onion, purée garlic, and cook over medium heat in a large pan with olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion becomes soft. Remove the steak from the pot and shred it into pieces using two forks. Take the softened vegetables and 1 cup of the broth left in the pot (save the rest for a different recipe), and process using a blender until smooth. Pour the blended veggies and beef into the pan with guiso. Stir well and continue to cook for about 5 more minutes — taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Set aside.
