Method
  1. In a large casserole dish heat up the olive oil over high heat. Once it’s hot enough, add the bacon and let it crisp up. Once ready, remove the bacon from the casserole dish and place it over kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. In the same dish, add half of the onion and the diced steak. Stir and let it get a bit of colour for 6 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the cumin, salt and pepper, and cook for a further 2 mins. Pour in the Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce, and the stock, and let it simmer on low heat for 8 mins approx. Finish by adding the Cantina Beans and juices with the lime juice. Keep simmering it for 2 to 3 minutes, and get ready to serve.
  3. Serve a good amount of Carne en su Jugo in a bowl with enough juices. Garnish it with some of the crispy bacon, the leftover diced white onion, and a sprinkle of coriander on top. Enjoy!
