Beef Mechado
Beef Mechado Recipe
If we look closely, there are differences such as the manner of cooking or preparation and ingredients used. I enjoy eating tomato based dishes especially if beef is used. However, the time needed to tenderize the meat tests my patience. Good thing I was able to buy a reliable pressure cooker to solve my problem.
I acknowledge the fact that slow cooked meals are still the best but sometimes we need to improvise our cooking methods to suit our busy lives.
