Recipe instructions

  1. Simmer roast with bay leaves in a Dutch oven on the stove until tender, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
  2. Cool at room temperature; reserve cooking water for another use if you wish.
  3. When beef is cool, shred and place in a glass container.
  4. Combine lime juice, lemon juice and garlic; mix into meat.
  5. Season with salt and pepper and marinate overnight.
  6. (The sirloin roast is excellent at\soaking up\ the juices!) Next day, remove meat from marinade, squeezing excess liquid (if you need to; I normally don't) and fry in a large skillet in olive oil until slightly brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. Add thin onion slices and parsley and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until onion is tender and meat is well-browned.
  8. Squeeze more lime juice on meat and serve over rice.
