Ingredientes:

• 2 pounds beef skirt steak in one piece
• 1/2 cup grated white onion
• 1 minced aj dulce* (sweet green or red pepper)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 recipe of Hogao del Pacfico (page 165XXX)or Hogao del Caribe (page 164XXX)
• 2 whole eggs, beaten
• Cooked rice, for serving

Como Preparar:

1. In a medium pot, over medium heat place the beef, 10 cups of water, onion, aj dulce, and garlic. Cover and cook for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes more. You know the meat is done when you can rip off strips with a fork. Almost all the water should have evaporated, but in case it hasnt, remove the beef, and boil it down to 1 cup. Place the beef back in the pot and let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes to relax and cool off so you can handle it.
2. Remove the beef from the pot. Cut across the grain into 1-inch-wide strips.
3. Take each strip, and with 2 forks or with your fingers shred the meat.
4. Place the beef back in the pot, bring the heat to medium-high, and mix it with 1 cup of the reduced cooking liquid; add the hogao and mix.
5. Pour the beaten eggs to the pot, and cook for 2 minutes or until the egg is cooked.
6. Serve over rice.
