Paciencia y Alegrìa [Spn/Eng]

Ahora les cuento cómo procedí.

Greetings #FoodiesBeeHive Community!

Happy New Year! Let's continue sharing our creations, whether simple or not, where creativity flows freely. We can adapt recipes or not, and consider the budget based on the ingredients used or variations.

When I first started posting recipes in communities, I hesitated because I'm not a dedicated cook. Then, with simple step-by-step instructions, I embarked on this adventure of sharing my creations and personal touches. I've always believed that cooking is about creativity, so sometimes I let my intuition guide me in choosing ingredients and how to adapt them to my budget.

Sometimes, I hear people explain how to prepare certain dishes, listen to their steps, and then think, "I can do that. It's not that complicated. I just need patience to see the result, taste it, and show you how I made this roast I'm about to share."

I decided to make this barbecue after a friend told me how she did it. It didn't seem difficult (before, it seemed like a lot of work). I experimented and finally got a good result. Of course, I'll keep improving my technique with future barbecues.

Now I'll tell you how I did it.

Los ingredientes utilizados

-Un corte de carne magro y redondo de 1 kilo 250 gramos
-3 cebollas pequeñas
-10 dientes de ajo
-1 ají grande
-50 gramos de cebollín
-50 gramos de cilantro
-50 gramos de perejil
-1 taza de aceite
-1/4 de taza de sirope de papelón
-Sal al gusto, pimienta en granos

Antes de iniciar la cocción de esta carne se hizo el proceso del maceramiento, aproximadamente 48 horas (puede ser menos o más, de acuerdo a la disponibilidad de tiempo para esta primera parte).

The ingredients used:

• One 1.25 kg lean, round cut of beef
• 3 small onions
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1 large chili pepper
• 50 grams of scallions
• 50 grams of cilantro
• 50 grams of parsley
• 1 cup of oil
• 1/4 cup of piloncillo syrup
• Salt and peppercorns to taste

Before starting to cook the meat, I marinated it for approximately 48 hours (it could be less or more, depending on the time available for this first step).

Todos los ingredientes a utilizar ya lavados y cortados.

All the ingredients were washed and cut.

El primer paso es llevar a la licuadora el aceite y cada uno de los ingredientes a utilizar.

The first step is to put the oil and each of the ingredients to be used into the blender.

Luego de licuar todos los ingredientes, convertirlos en pasta, proceder a bañar la carne, envolverla con esta mezcla.

After blending all the ingredients into a paste, coat the meat with the mixture and wrap it.

Ya bañado con la mezcla, envolver el envase con papel envolvente o puede utilizar papel de aluminio. Llevarlo a la nevera y dejarlo allí hasta cuando decida llevar a cocinar. Esta preparación se dejó cerca de 48 horas.

Once coated, wrap the container with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. This preparation was left for approximately 48 hours.

Después de 48 horas, llevarlo al recipiente elegido para esta segunda parte como es la cocción. A fuego alto, ir volteando para ir sellando la carne. Con paciencia y dedicación. Luego de sellar, bajar la temperatura y colocar a fuego medio o bajo, tapar y dejar que vaya cocinando, cada cierto tiempo destapar, ir volteando la carne. Decidí colocar un poco de agua, tapar y dejar cocinar. Este procedimiento llevó cerca de 2 horas y media.

After 48 hours, transfer the meat to the cooking pot. Over high heat, turn the meat occasionally to sear it. Do this with patience and care. After searing, reduce the heat to medium or low, cover, and let it cook, turning the meat occasionally. I decided to add a little water, cover, and let it cook. This process took about two and a half hours.

Cuando consideré que estaba listo, me permití cortarlo en ruedas. Se probó, quedó bueno de gusto y textura.

When I considered it ready, I sliced ​​it into rounds. It was tested, and it tasted and had a good texture.

Puedo decir que fue una experiencia agradable, primera vez que realizo este tipo de comidas, al día siguiente su sabor estaba más concentrado y mas divino.

I can say it was a pleasant experience, the first time I'd made this type of food. The next day, the flavor was even more concentrated and delicious.
