Salpicón de res is a popular dish in Latin American cuisine, particularly in countries like Peru and Mexico. It is a refreshing and flavorful dish that combines tender chunks of grilled beef with a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, and a tangy dressing. Preparing salpicón de res is a straightforward process that yields a delicious meal perfect for any occasion. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to prepare this delightful dish.
First, gather all the necessary ingredients. You will need the following:
– 1 pound (450 grams) of beef (such as sirloin or flank steak)
– 1 red bell pepper
– 1 green bell pepper
– 1 yellow bell pepper
– 1 cucumber
– 1 small red onion
– 2 tomatoes
– 1/2 cup (125 ml) of mayonnaise
– 1/4 cup (60 ml) of lime juice
– 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: chopped cilantro, avocado, and tortilla chips for serving
Begin by preparing the beef. Cut the beef into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and season with salt and pepper. Grill the beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the beef is resting, prepare the vegetables. Wash and chop the bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the vegetables and pour the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients. If desired, add chopped cilantro and avocado to the mixture.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salpicón de res for at least 1 hour, or until the flavors have melded together. This will allow the flavors to develop and the vegetables to absorb the dressing.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss to ensure all the ingredients are well coated. Arrange the salpicón de res on a serving platter and garnish with additional cilantro and avocado, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for a complete meal.
Enjoy your homemade salpicón de res as a refreshing appetizer or light meal. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a delightful and easy-to-make dish. ¡Buen provecho!
