translated from Spanish: How to celebrate National Meat Day

Mechada meat is one of the most historical dishes in the country, although the concept of meat comes from Europe, it has been prepared in Chile for more than 70 years. Before the 50s it was considered a weekend lunch that was usually accompanied with puree, but over the years the meat began to appear in other preparations such as in the noodles and sandwiches, becoming one of the preparations typical of public dining rooms and chopped.
Today, this preparation has become so popular and quoted by Chileans that we have even set a day to celebrate this tasty and juicy preparation, and what better to celebrate with the preparations that best match the traditional dish of frayed meat.
Before starting preparations, it is important to know that the key to getting the meat to be discarded with the fork depends on the type of cut used and the hours of cooking. Marcelo Muñoz, head of Local of Doña Carne, recommends buying cuts such as rib, silver, goose chicken and goose and cooking it for at least 2 hours.
Another important thing for the perfection of this dish, is to “rock” the meat, as was formerly done in mining with dynamite, meat has to be made various holes in its cut and filled with pieces of carrot, garlic and paprika, so that it absorbs all its Flavor.
Meat preparation
Dip the meat with carrot, garlic and paprika. Seal it in a frying pan with a drop of oil, and once the meat is sealed, put the preparation in a pot and cover it with a cup of wine, a cup of water and the broth it released when it was sealed.
Add more dressings and vegetables to taste and wait 1 hour in case cooked in pressure cooker, and 2 in case it is a conventional pot. Finally, remove the meat when it is soft and fray it. Then, add the frayed meat to the pot to mix with the vegetables and broth where it was cooked.
