Dinner Mexican Recipes Soups

Caldo de Res (Mexican Beef Soup)

A bowl of Mexican beef soup or as called in spanish, Caldo de res. A super healthy and hearty soup perfect to warm you up on a cold day.
Caldo de Res, Mexican Beef Soup

Since living in Arizona the last 5 years, I have become obsessed with all things Mexican food and this Caldo de Res Mexican Beef Soup is absolutely the best! I have made many variations of it and in this recipe, I truly believe I have it nailed down. I used Spanglish Asadero’s Signature All Purpose seasoning to add that extra hint of flavor. A tiny bit spicy, but not anywhere near too much, so it’s perfect for every single palate.

Caldo de res is a very common soup all over Latin America and also in the Philippines. It is very likely due to the Spanish influence during colonial times. It is very close to puchero, which traditionally comes from Spain and is made up of bone, meats, and vegetables. In the Dominican Republic we have an almost identical beef soup. What makes it different is that we add adobo, oregano and other ingredients that are traditional to the island. Here is the link to my family’s Dominican version, Caribbean Beef, veggies and rice soup. You should absolutely try it as well. Both are so similar, yet not the same.

What beef is used in Caldo de Res?

I have always used a combination of bone-in beef shank or NY strip steak and boneless chuck steak. All cut in chunks. Many Mexican supermarkets sell Caldo de Res beef mix packs that are ready to just throw into the pot. If you can get your hands of those, you are golden!

Caldo de Res (Mexican Beef Soup)

Caldo de Res is a hearty Mexican Beef Soup loaded with veggies. A soup base that is completely natural, healthy, low sodium, and in this case enhanced with a low sodium, gluten free seasoning for an extra kick.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs bone-in beef shank or NY strip steak cut in large chunks
  • 2 lbs boneless chuck steak cut in large chunks
  • or 4 lbs of Caldo de Res chopped meat mix found at Mexican supermarket
  • 12 cups water you will need more as it cooks. I ended up adding 4 cups of water total during its 1 ½ hours of cooking.
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1/2 large yellow onion cut in half
  • 1/2 head of cabbage cut in 4 pieces
  • 1 zucchini cut in chunks. In the video, I didn’t add because I didn’t have it on hand.
  • 2 large potatotes peeled and cut in chunks
  • 2 large carrots peeled and cut in chunks
  • 2 yellow corns on the cob cut in 4 to 5 pieces
  • 1 chayote squash seed removed and chopped into chunks
  • 1 small cilantro bunch
  • 2 tsp Spanglish Asadero Signature All Purpose more if you like a bit more spice
  • 1 serrano pepper sliced in thin rounds for topping, if desired
  • lime wedges for topping, if desired
  • warm tortillas as a side to dip into soup, if desired
  • white rice side, if desired

Instructions

  • Chop up the beef into about 1 inch chunks. Bone doesnt count. Rinse with well with water. If buying ready to use beef mix, just go straight to rinsing.
  • Bring to a light boil over medium high heat. Once water is boiling, remove the foam at the top of the pot. Continue to remove the foam until no more is coming up.
  • Then add the head of garlic and onion. Boil on medium for 1 and a half hours. I cover the pot about 3/4 of the way. If you notice the soup needs more water during the 1 1/2 hours, add bits at a time so it doesn’t dry out.
    I ended up adding about 4 cups total after. But every stove is different.
  • While the soup is cooking, chop up the vegetables and set aside.
  • When the 1 and a half hours are up, add all the vegetables and cilantro. Except the zucchini. Tuck the cabbage into the liquid. It will wilt as it cooks. Boil for 10 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini, Spanglish Asadero's Signature All Purpose. Stir well and cook another 10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
  • Taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Sprinkle with lime juice if desired. Serve with warm tortillas and or white or yellow Mexican rice if desired as well.

When you are a New Yorker on the west coast, you a When you are a New Yorker on the west coast, you always crave your real deal NYC pizza. And now I can truly say I have found a gem in Arizona! Recently opened in Gilbert AZ, @crustrestaurants doesn’t only sell the most amazing NYC pizza but they even sell them in slices! Yes! Soooo, New York! The menu is also all New York Italian. Basically, you cannot go wrong here!

What we had: a half and half pizza, the New Yorker and the Palermo. Both amazing! 
Appetizers… Burrata Board, Meat and Cheese Board.
Angel Hair Pomodoro that I am still craving.
They sell dough ready for you to make your own pizza at home and even sauces! When I say they’ve got you, I mean it!

I also boil lasagna noodles or use oven ready ones. I prefer the ones I cook because I feel they are thicker. When I don’t have time. Oven Ready are great!

Baked Yams with Honey 😋

 4 tbsp unsalted b Baked Yams with Honey 😋


4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp chopped fresh sage
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 lbs. yams or sweet potatoes, sliced 1 inch thick
1 tsp salt and black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Honey, for drizzling

 

Set oven to 475°F.
Put the butter, sage, and thyme in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Place potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking dish in a single layer (a glass dish can crack on this temperature). Bake until potatoes are golden brown on the bottom, about 15 min. Flip and bake until a deep golden brown on the other side, another 15 min. Pour in the chicken broth and continue to bake until the potatoes are soft, and the liquid is almost completely reduced, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with honey.

There is no other dish that brings the huge amount There is no other dish that brings the huge amount of nostalgia to me as Mangú con los Tres Golpes. It defines my childhood and my growing into the woman I am today. I also think it’s the main meal that has attached me to my family origins, my culture. Even though I was born in America and feel very American, I feel just as much Dominican. 🇩🇴

This national dish is one you must have when you visit the Dominican Republic or if you happen to know one of us here in the states. And, btw, you can even have this dish at Dominican resorts. Don’t see it on one of their menus? Ask and they will deliver, I have been told.

Here is the recipe and the link to how to make it.

I love pulled pork and I love to make it seasoned I love pulled pork and I love to make it seasoned in a lot of different ways. One of my favorites as of late is using @SpanglishAsadero_official’s seasonings. This time I used All Purpose and Al Pastor. I cannot even come close to telling you how good it was! 
I made tacos, had it with rice and beans as well. Hard to have leftovers because it goes so fast!

Visit https://www.spanglishasadero.com/ (https://www.spanglishasadero.com/) to learn more about Spanglish Asadero.
 
2 tbsp corn oil/vegetable oil
7 lb pork shoulder butt
About 5 tbsp Spanglish Asadero All Purpose
1 ½ or so Spanglish Asadero Al Pastor
1 cup chicken broth

Cut the pork butt/shoulder into large chunks. 
Season the pork with the Spanglish Asadero Seasonings.
Coat well. 
Add corn oil to Instant pot on Sauté mode.
Once oil is hot, add a layer of the pork chunks and brown for about 30 seconds on each side. Set aside, continue in batches.
Once all the pieces are sauteed, add the pork back in. You can overlap them.
Add the chicken broth.
Set instant pot on meat for 90 minutes. This will take a few minutes to get to temperature.
Make sure the valve is closed.
Once the cooking is done, allow a natural pressure release. Once the countdown is done, push the valve open and carefully open the instant pot.
Place the pork on a large baking dish and shred. Add some of the liquid left in the instant pot over the shredded pork.
Place the pork in the oven at 400° degrees. Cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and enjoy with your desired sides or incorporated into tacos, burritos, empanadas and more.
