Glenn: This is one of Raúl's favorites!! 

Raúl: It's dried beef that's been reconstituted. 

Glenn: It's put into a stew with tomatoes and spices. 

Jorge: Raúl likes his served over white rice. 

Raúl: Once you try it, you'll love it!

1 1/2 lb dried beef (tasajo -- available in Latin markets)
1/2 cup sour orange juice(or mix orange and grapefruit juices half and half)
 2 large onions 
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
 5 garlic cloves mashed

Soak dried beef overnight. Boil the jerked beef for an hour to desalt it, change the water and boil it again until soft enough to separate into strands. Drain. Cut meat in pieces and pound with meat hammer. Season with sour orange juice. Sauté garlic, onion and oregano in oil until onions are cooked through. Add beef pieces and sauté until meat is brown.

Variation: Make a criollo sauce by frying green pepper, onion, and garlic in olice oil until limp. Add fresh tomatoes and some tomato sauce, cook on low heat for about 15 minutes. Serve as a sauce or mix into the prepared tasajo.

Three Guys From Miami: Food, Travel, & Culture
iCuban logo
This painting represents the dual culture of Cuban-Americans here symbolized by both the traditional espresso coffee pot -- for those cafe con leches -- and the ubiquitous American drip coffee maker, which is found in offices, work sites, and most American homes.

Tony has sold many of these at art shows around Florida. It is especially popular with Cuban-Americans who live this dual culture. Also a great gift for Cubans married to Americans!
