Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef sirloin — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef sirloin and slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness in the final dish.
- Pinto beans — If you prefer a creamier texture, you can mash some of the beans before adding them to the stew.
- Fresh lime — Squeeze the lime wedges over the Carne en su jugo just before serving to add a refreshing citrusy flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smokier flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper to the pot while sautéing the onion and garlic.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits instead of cooking the bacon from scratch.
- Serve the Carne en su jugo with a side of Mexican rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick and delicious meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Carne en su jugo in individual bowls, allowing each person to customize their toppings with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime. Accompany the stew with warm corn tortillas for a traditional Mexican experience.
