What is your favorite meat?
Imagine slow-cooked meat drizzled with a thick savory sauce.
Oh, you won’t need any type of knife here.
You can use your fork and spoon, and that meat will fall apart.

The recipe is really simple and it will make you fall in love with it once you taste it.
According to the owner of the YouTube channel ¡Que Viva La Cocina!, you can use any meat you want, but for his recipe, he chose beef.
The ingredients:
- 8 beef or pork pieces (your choice)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped finely
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped finely
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 medium-sized carrots, chopped finely
- 1 bottle of red wine
- 8 fl oz meat broth
- Salt and pepper
- Oil
This recipe is for 4 people.
If you have completed the ingredients, let’s cook.
Let’s start by heating your pan. Then, add some oil and wait until it gets hot.
Rub your meat with salt and pepper.
Once your cooking oil is hot, add your meat.
Sear meat for two minutes and then flip. Cook for another two minutes.
Remove meat and set aside.
Leave oil in pan
Don’t throw away the excess cooking oil, just leave it in the pan.
Once you have removed the meat, turn on the stove again and add your chopped onions.
Add your carrots, red and green bell peppers, crushed garlic, and of course, salt and pepper to taste.
Saute all the ingredients together for 10 minutes on medium heat.
Once all your vegetables are cooked add the meat back to the pan.
Time for the wine and broth.
Bring everything to a boil and allow it to cook for three to four hours over low heat.
Using a pressure cooker?
Follow the same process as above but let it cook for 40 minutes.
For a normal saucepan, allow it to cook for about half the time allotted, then cover it and continue cooking.
When the meat is soft, carefully remove it from your pan and set aside.
Blending the sauce
Using a blender or food processor, get your sauce and blend it until smooth.
Put it back into your saucepan and let it simmer until the sauce has oxygenated and has darkened in color.
Once you have achieved your desired color, put the meat back in.
It will be fork-tender
Be very careful and don’t use any utensils for this step because the meat is already really soft.
Barredo swirled the pot until all the sauce had covered the meat.
After around five minutes, you’re done.
Serve with mashed potatoes, beans, corn, or whatever side dish you want.
The meat is so soft that you can use a spoon to cut it.
And that sauce? It’s so thick and flavorful that you’ll ask for another serving.
