Instructions
- Add the bacon to a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy. Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
- Season the beef with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the meat to the same pot and cook for 10 minutes until browned.
- While the meat is browning, make the tomatillo sauce. Add the tomatillos, serrano peppers, ½ cup of the chopped cilantro, garlic, cumin, black pepper, water, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of kosher salt to a large blender. Blend until smooth.
- When the meat has browned, pour in the tomatillo sauce. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 30-35 minutes, until meat is tender.
- Stir in the pinto beans and cook for 2 more minutes until warmed through.
- Serve in bowls garnished with crispy bacon, diced onions, chopped cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Notes
- Bacon: The bacon and bacon fat add a delicious depth of flavor to this dish, but you can use 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil instead if you prefer.
