Machacado con Huevos: Mexican Dried Beef with Eggs

When we get a submission with some beautiful pictures, it’s always smile-inducing when you read the person’s descriptions of the process and you know they had a good time with their food. This dish, an adapted recipe from the package of dried beef she used in her dish, was put together by a young lady with a web alias Trix.

Machacado con Huevos, is a lively dish that couples spicy flavors with dried beef and stirred up eggs. Here’s a quick recipe that Trix put together so you can recreate it in your own home:

Here’s what you do: In a large saucepan, saute one diced onion, a diced green pepper, 3 jalapenos (seeds intact), a dried red chili, and a few minced cloves of garlic in butter or lard. Add the dried beef and cook until coated. Add 3 or 4 juicy chopped tomatoes and cook until warm. Move the mixture to the side of the pan and slowly add 5 beaten eggs, incorporating the beef mixture a little bit at a time. Once everything is covered in egg, cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs have set. Serve with tortillas and accompaniments of your choice – guacamole, salsa, etc.
