Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tripe

    Rinse the beef tripe under cold water. Place it in a large pot, cover it with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1.5 hours until tender, then drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, add the beef broth, minced garlic, chopped onion, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked tripe and hominy to the broth. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Ladle the menudo into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped onion, cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
