Cooking the Arrachera
Slice the meat into ¾" wide strips that are about 3" long.
Preheat a thick bottomed pan to hot. Add 1 tbsp. of cooking oil and then place the meat in the pan and salt well.
The meat will give off a lot of liquid while cooking. Turn once a minute.
When the liquid has evaporated and the meat is nicely browned. It is ready to serve.
Serving

Notes
The salsa we used for this recipe already includes onion and cilantro. If you use a different salsa, you can top with some finely chopped onion and cilantro which is a tasty addition.
