Cooking up some Chinese style carne asada!

Posted on May 8, 2016 Updated on May 8, 2016

Today is Sunday, our day of rest. Of course for me, it’s always a day of cooking, too. Using my new Canon G7X I filmed a recipe for tudou niurou,  牛肉和土豆, or beef and potatoes.

The recipe itself is very simple, and the ingredients are few:

• 5-6 medium potatoes with the skins included
• 350-500g cubed beef
• Garlic powder
• Red pepper
• Cumin
• Salt
• 1 whole onion chopped
• Cilantro (optional)
• 2 teaspoons Chinese lajiao (拉脚) OR
  • 2-3 red chili peppers chopped with seeds

Directions: Cut the potatoes in cubes and cut the beef into smaller cubes, like the size of what you would see in a Mexican style burrito. Add olive oil to pan and let it heat up for 10-20 seconds. Add potatoes, stir to coat in oil, then leave for 10-12 minutes minimum. While the potatoes are cooking, slice the beef and the whole onion. Also, add 2 teaspoons of lajiao or 2-3 chopped red chili peppers at this time. After potatoes have been cooking for 12 minutes, add the beef and spices. Stir, and allow to cook for 5 minutes more. After 5 minutes goes by, add the onion and some more spices if desired and cook for 3-5 moe minutes. Add in chopped cilantro at the end and stir it in. Serve and enjoy!
