Beef Or Pork - Chopped - With Slaw And Beans Recipe

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped beef or pork and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess fat if necessary.

Season and sauté

Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute until fragrant.

Simmer

Stir in tomato paste and broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until meat is tender and flavors melded, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Make slaw dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Combine slaw

In a large bowl, toss shredded cabbage and carrot with the dressing. Chill for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Sauté aromatics

In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Season and heat beans

Add beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors combine. Stir in cilantro just before serving.

Pile a portion of meat onto a plate, top with a helping of slaw, and serve with hot beans on the side. Can be served with warm tortillas or bread if desired.
