CRISP BEEF

• 1 /2 lb Lean Beef Chuck or Round
• 1 Clove Garlic, chopped
• 1 /2 ts Salt
• 1 /4 ts Fresh Ground Black Pepper
• 1 tb Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 /2 tb Molasses
• 2 tb Lime Juice
• 1 /4 ts Ground Coriander
• 1 c Water

Cut the meat in thin slices along the grain, not across it. Pound the

slices until they almost fall apart. Put the meat and all the other

ingredients except the Oil in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over

high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring now

and then, until the liquid has evaporated. Remove the meat and tear

it into fine strips using two forks. Scrape the bottom of the pan to

gather the residue, add the oil and set it over Medium heat. When the

oil is hot add the meat shreds and fry, stirring, until they are

crisp and dark brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
