Hilachas is a traditional Guatemalan dish made with shredded beef in tomato sauce with vegetables. It's a comforting and flavorful stew that represents Central American home cooking at its finest.
Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
In a pot of boiling water, add beef with half an onion and salt. Cook until tender, approximately 30 minutes. Remove and shred the meat.
Blend the tomatoes, garlic, and remaining onion until you get a smooth sauce. Strain if you prefer a finer texture.
Heat oil in a large pan and pour in the tomato sauce. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cut the carrot and potato into cubes. Add them to the sauce along with the peas. Cook for 10 minutes.
Add the shredded beef to the sauce with vegetables. Pour in some of the beef cooking broth. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hilachas with its sauce in deep bowls accompanied by rice or tortillas.
