alternative dried beef

[Grinder]

I've done this twice and it works well so I thought I'd share:

I make a recipe called "Ropa Vieja" which means "Old Cloths" in spanish. It's a cuban recipe for pot roast slow cooked to rags. search <"Frugal Gourmet"+ "ropa Vieja"> to find it.

When done and fully shredded, it dehydrates easily. I just finished about a pint in three or four hours, on parchment paper, in the oven, on warm, door propped open a bit.

I would serve it either as burrito filling or with rice and beans. Or maybe as the meat in Rock's Shepherd's pie???

Was just going to say... that would work perfect for the Trail shepherds pie. When Great minds and food collide.

Gotta look that one up. Good also to fortify that ramen soup. :)

~Thanks to Trailhead for the recipe.

Note: (translates to "old clothes" because the shredded beef gives the impression of tattered clothing.)

Trailhead let me adapt her recipe. It's in my book. (very close to the above recipe, with a few adaptations.) ;)
