Best Jerk Beef On Plantain Chips Recipes

JERK PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wire racks.
• Trim the ends of the plantains. Score the skin lengthwise in three spots and peel. With a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the plantains crosswise about 1/8-inch thick.
• Arrange the plantain slices on the prepared baking sheets and spray generously with coconut oil spray. Season with 1/2 tablespoon of the jerk seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Turn over the slices and repeat with coconut oil spray and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon jerk seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then spray the tops of the plantains a second time with coconut oil spray. Rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom and continue baking until the plantains are golden and crisp, another 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets before serving.

CUBAN STYLE SALT CURED BEEF WITH CRISPY PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Cut the dried cured beef into 2-inch cubes and soak in water overnight.
• Change the water and boil the cubes in a large stockpot until tender approximately 45 minutes, making sure that the water is not too salty (change water if necessary). Strain and cool down. Shred the meat and set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat the oil and saute the onions, peppers, and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato sauce, white wine, beef stock, vinegar, and the spices. Add the shredded meat. Cook at low heat for approximately 30 minutes, keeping covered most of the time.
• Preheat 3 cups blended oil. Slice the plantains lengthwise into several slender full length strips, preferably using a mandoline, and fry until crispy.

CRISPY PLANTAIN CHIPS WITH SWEET CHILE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Add the sugar and 1/2 cup water to a medium pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a food processor combine the sambal, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, chile de arbol, garlic, Fresno chiles and ginger. Process until well chopped up. Once the sugar mixture has turned a caramel color, remove from the heat and carefully dump in the chopped aromatics; take care as the hot caramel will bubble up and steam. Stir the caramel well to mix in the aromatics, then return to the heat. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry; stir into the sauce. Simmer until thickened to the consistency of ketchup. Cool before serving. (Makes 2 cups.)
• For the plantain chips: Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven. While the oil is heating up, trim the ends of the plantains and then slice lengthwise into thin (about 1/16-inch thick) planks using a mandoline. In small batches to avoid overcrowding, fry the plantain planks until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently move the plantains around in the oil as they fry--this helps them crisp up. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle the chips immediately with the salt and smoked paprika. Serve with the sweet chile dipping sauce.
