- ⅓ of an onion
- 2 bunches of cilantro, divided

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