Carne en su Jugo (Meat in its Juices)

Carne en su Jugo (Meat in its Juices)
  • 4 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 3 serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 3 cups water
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch squares
  • 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges


  1. Combine the tomatillos, serrano peppers, garlic, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Transfer the contents to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook the flank steak in the hot skillet until completely browned. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the beef and bring to a boil. Stir the chicken bouillon into the mixture, and reduce heat to medium. Cover the skillet and simmer until tender, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the pinto beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warm; reduce heat to low to keep warm until needed. Stir the bacon and pinto beans into the flank steak mixture; divide the mixture between 6 bowls. Garnish each with onion, cilantro, black pepper, and a lime wedge.
