Vaca frita (recipe)


  1. Place the beef and bay leaf in a large saucepan, cover with salted water, and cook over low heat, covered, until the meat is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  2. Remove the meat from the stock and allow to cool at room temperature (save the stock for another use).
  3. When the meat is cool, cut into 2-inch chunks, shred it using your fingers, and place in a nonreactive bowl.
  4. Add the citrus juices, garlic, salt, and pepper, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  5. Remove the meat from the marinade and squeeze out the excess liquid.
