Instructions
- Cut the meat into thin strips or slices, sprinkle with coarse salt and let rest for 1 hour in the fridge.
- Rinse the meat lightly to remove excess salt and pat it thoroughly dry.
- Heat the oil in a very hot pan and sear the meat for 2 minutes per side, in batches so it doesn't stew.
- Set the meat aside and fry the sliced onion and garlic in the same pan for 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomato, cumin and pepper, then let it reduce for 2 minutes.
- Return the meat, sprinkle with vinegar, toss and serve straight away with fried cassava and beans.
Variations and tips
Vinaigrette version. Prepare a vinaigrette with tomato, onion, coriander and vinegar to serve alongside, as is traditional in the Northeast.
