Instructions
make the sauce
Add tomatillo sauce (or poached tomatillos), onion, garlic, cilantro, serrano chilies and cumin.
Pour one cup of beef stock or water and blend until smooth.
make the stew
Cut the meat into strips first then into small bites. Season with cumin, salt and pepper. Cut also the bacon into strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil on a braising pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring constantly, until crisp.
Remove bacon from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil on the pan and add the beef meat. Sear until the meat is not longer pink but there’s still juices on the pan.
Pour in the tomatillo sauce. Return the bacon to the pan and pour in the remaining beef stock.
Bring to a boil, turn low the heat and allow to simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes or until the meat is very tender.
Adjust with seasonings adding more salt and spices to your liking. Turn off the heat.
serve
Distribute the beans onto 6 deep plates or bowls. Ladle the meat stew over, making sure you add a lot of sauce.
Garnish with onions, cilantro, radishes, and a squeeze of lime. Serve with warm corn tortillas.
