Tasso Beouf / Haitian Fried Beef

Haitian Tasso Beouf, or fried beef, packs robust flavor. In this classic recipe, flank steak or pot roast is marinated in garlic, peppers, scallions, citrus juices, and spices before being fried. The fresh sour orange and lime juices in the marinade brighten the flavor of this entrée. Try it with a side of Diri Kole or Djon Djon Rice.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 lbs fresh brisket, flank steak, or pot roast, cut into 1/4″-1/2″ slices
  • Juice of 2 sour oranges
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 scotch bonnet peppers, chopped
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine all ingredients (except oil) in a large bowl, cover, and allow to marinate overnight or for at least four hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Transfer meat and marinade into a cooking pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until meat is tender.
  3. Fry meat in a large frying pan until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain and cool.
  4. Serve.
