Glenn Lindgren: Tasajo is one of Raúl's favorites!! 

Raúl Musibay: Tasajo is dried beef that's been reconstituted. 

Glenn Lindgren: Tasajo is put into a stew with tomatoes and spices. 

Jorge Castillo: Raúl likes his tasajo served over white rice. 

Raúl Musibay: Once you try tasajo, 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.
