Machacado a la Mexicana (dry beef with eggs)

Machacado with eggs is dry shredded beef combined with salsa picante and eggs.

It makes an easy mexican breakfast in a taco, burrito or just on a plate with beans.

Traditional Mexican dry beef is marinated with spices and let it dry for days just like beef jerky. My grandfather back in the old days used to do this at the ranch and have the beef hanging outside like dry clothing... He used to say "let's get ready for the winter time" meaning he need it have a whole cow ready to feed the family.

Now you can find machacado or dry beef at meat markets or hispanic markets ready to be cooked.
