Honduran Salpicón- Keto#EatTheWorld

Beef Salpicón is a traditional Honduran dish that is both delicious and very easy to make. It's actually a meat salad served over steamed rice or veggies, totillas or lettuce leaves. What I like about this recipe that doesn’t require any additional fats or oils, the dish is low in fat. It's a perfect keto meal recipe. This Honduran recipe is prepared with culantro, which is a variety of culantro with large leaves that grow from the root. Since I did not have this, used coriander leaves, which I, read in google can be subsituted for it.
Ingredients
To Stew The Beef
1 Kg Boneless Beef
2 Medium Tomatoes - diced
1 Medium Onion - cut in fourths
4 Clove Garlic
1 Red Pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 Culantro Sprigs - I used Coriander Sprigs
To prepare The Salpicón
1 Red Pepper - finely diced
1 Small White Onion - finely diced
½ Bell Pepper - cut into fine strips
½ cup Bitter Orange Juice (or substitute with lemon juice or vinegar)
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tablespoons Chopped Coriander Leaves
To Serve
Tomato, Onion & Avocado
Method
Put the beef in a pot together with the tomato, onion cut into fourths, garlic and red pepper. Cover the ingredients with water and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 2 hours being careful to remove, from time to time, any foam that might form on the surface of the water. You will have to stew the beef until it’s very tender, about 2 hours, adding water if it gets too dry.
Once the beef is tender, season with salt and pepper and add the sprigs of coriander. Turn off burner and let the stew cool completely. Strain the stock and serve it as a consommé or use it as a stock for another soup or in a different recipe.

Shred the stewed with a fork. Put the beef in a bowl along with the diced red pepper, white onion, bell pepper, vinegar and more salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with salad, rice, steamed vegetables instead of rice and tortillas, or in use salpicón as the filling in lettuce wraps. It's a light dish that will fill you for hours and give you energy. Enjoy!! Refrigerate to serve the salad cold, although it's best when served at room temperature.
