Discada
Description
Discada features a blend of diced bacon, crumbled chorizo, pork cubes, and sirloin steak cubes, cooked sequentially in vegetable oil to render fat and develop browning. Hot dog sausages, along with diced onion, green bell pepper, and Serrano chile, are added and sautéed to build layers of flavor. Chopped tomatoes and beer are incorporated to create a simmering sauce that enriches the meats.
The cooking process gradually melds the savory, smoky, and spicy notes from the bacon, chorizo, and peppers with the hearty meat and vegetables. The final touch of chopped cilantro enhances the dish with fresh herbal aroma and color variation.
Discada is a flavorful, filling dish suited for family meals or gatherings. The combination of various meats with spicy peppers and tomato provides a hearty and complex flavor profile balancing richness and fresh elements.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Bacon diced, thick slices
- 1 chorizo crumbled
- ½ lb pork cut into small cubes, meat
- 1 lb sirloin steak or rib eye cut into small cubes
- 1 cup white onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 Serrano peppers diced
- 2 hot dog sausages chopped
- 4 cups tomato chopped
- 1 cup beer at room temperature
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
How to Make Discada:
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the bacon and let it cook until crispy. Remove the crispy bacon from the pan and transfer it to a plate lined with absorbent towels to absorb any excess fat.
- Next, in the same frying pan, cook the chorizo for about 5-6 minutes. Remove and place it on the plate with the bacon.
- Now, add the pork meat and cook for approximately 7 minutes. Don't worry if it doesn't appear fully cooked at this point; it will continue cooking with the remaining ingredients.
- Add the beef to the frying pan and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and set it aside with the other cooked ingredients.
- Now, it's time to incorporate the onion, serrano chili, and green pepper into the pan. Allow them to cook for approximately 3 minutes. Then, add the cooked meat, tomatoes, and sausages, and let them cook for around 10 minutes. You'll notice that the tomatoes will start releasing their juices during this time.
- Next, pour the beer, season with salt and pepper, and cover. Keep cooking for another 5 minutes until all the meats are soft and well cooked.
- Just before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy your Discada! Serve it with sides like creamy guacamole, pinto beans, and a stack of warm flour tortillas.
