Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg of Rumba Meats' Beef Cheekmeat
  • of an onion
  • 2 bunches of cilantro, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • tbsps of olive oil
  • 4 tbsps of lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Cut Rumba Meats' Beef Cheekmeat in medium-sized pieces
  • Heat up a pot with a bit of olive oil, add 1 bunch of chopped cilantro, ⅓ of onions and cheekmeat. Simmer for a couple of minutes, then cover ingredients in water and cook meat for about 20-30 mins. Then, take the cheekmeat pieces out of the pot - you can use the beef broth for soups or sauces
  • Process the cheekmeat pieces until shredded-like consistency. Salpicón is very dry, but if your food processor gets stuck, you can always add a it of the beef broth. Transfer shredded beef to a medium bowl
  • Chop onions and cilantro in food processor, separately, then add to the meat bowl
  • Season everything with salt, pepper and the lime juice
  • Serve salpicón with rice and beans and more lime wedges

Notes

To serve:
You can serve salpicón with black beans, rice and I love adding a bit more lime juice.
