Today’s recipe was adapted from a recipe originally shared with me by my cousin Victor,  who lives in Mexico. This is an easy stove top version of a grilled recipe. That being said, there will be a grilled version before the summer is out! I promise.  I love a tasty food challenge, as long as I have more than 20 minutes, Lol! #chopped The first time I prepared this recipe, I did use the rib-eye and it was delicious! I have tried it with beef stew meat, but it was not as tender. In today’s version, I took advantage of this smoky, delicious beef chuck roast we smoked last week. It’s super tender already and after it braised in this stove top version of  salsa borracha, it was amazing. I am thankful for my family and my extended family in Monterrey, Mexico. I love that they get excited about cooking as much as I do. And not only the female side of the family, but many of my male cousins are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to cooking! Every recipe, every photograph, I share a little bit of myself. Enjoy!! #foodieforlife #mexicanfood #familia

I enjoy using a little Maggi seasoning in my dishes, especially beef dishes.

Serving suggestions:This dish is a good topping for tostadas, add some shredded cheese to the tostadas and melt in the oven or on the grill, top them with salsa borracha. Garnish w/ cilantro and lime wedges.

    I made this on Sunday and it was a wonderful dish. I served the beef with white rice, avocado slices and limes, and garnished the plate with cilantro. I skipped the tortillas this time around, but it was a very delicious dish! So good and not too spicy at all. I followed the instructions exactly. Provecho everyone!
