Come Celebrate Cinco De Mayo with me and this guy.
Holidays Around the World
So, let us be like all of the other jackwagons out there and use this upcoming holiday as an excuse to party our faces off. Because drinking in a fake sombrero makes drinking so much more acceptable.
Cinco De Mayo falls on a Saturday so you have no excuse not to make this tasty shredded beef recipe. Well, if you are celebrating International Midwives day or Senior Citizens day in Palua I will let it slide.
Cinco De Awesome Shredded Beef with Grilled Papaya
I let this roast cook slowly over night in a crock pot, in the morning I turned it to "warm". I came home around 7pm and shredded it. Super easy and tasty! Served with homemade guacamole and a coleslaw!
Ingredients:
Sauce
-1/2 onion diced
-3 garlic cloves, minced
-1 large can of tomato sauce
-1 can of Salsa Ranchera (in the Spanish/Mexican--whatever it's called-- section of most grocery stores)
-1 TSP garlic powder
-1 TBS ground cumin
-2 TBS olive oil
-1 Roast (I used a 4# boneless beef roast of sorts. I had Mike pick it out for me)
- 3 carrots, shredded
-1/2 onion, chopped
-1/2 cup beef broth
-1 papaya, seeded and cut into quarters
Directions:
-In a saucepan heat olive oil over medium/low heat
-Add onion and minced garlic, cook until onion becomes slightly translucent
-Add tomato sauce, salsa ranchera and spices
-Bring to a slight boil then remove from heat
-Place the roast in a crock pot with the onion and shredded carrot and the beef broth
-Pour the red sauce over the roast
-Cook on low heat over night or through out the day. (about 8 hours)
-When you are ready to serve remove roast from the pot. There is going to be a lot of "sauce", the roast should have been completely covered by it.
-Allow the roast to cool slightly and begin to shred by hand.
-Put shredded beef in bowl.
-Ladle sauce from the crock pot over the shredded beef. Just enough so it's moist and saucy. Not soupy or too runny.
For the papaya
-Turn on your grill!! ( I sprayed mine with olive oil cooking spray so it wouldn't stick)
-Cut into quarters and remove seeds
-Place on grill with the skin/outside down first...I Probably left it on for about 7-ish minutes until there was slight charring of the skin.
-Flip and cook on the fleshy side until there is sight charring again!
I also made Paleo Comfort Food's "Tastiest Slaw Ever". But, I can only find the recipe in their cookbook. So you should obviously purchase it or else you are missing out.
Bang Bang, enjoy.
