This, the only thing I can compare it to, is steak tartare, mexican style. This is like a ceviche, but with lean ground beef, so technically, the beef is raw cooked by acids in lemon. If you are not open to things like this, please skip this one. I love this since the first time I tried it, and everyone I have given it to has liked it as well, but some do not want to try it when I tell them the raw beef part.

Time P1DT10m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef (must be lean....like 99% lean)
8 ounces lemon juice
coarse salt and pepper
6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly minced
3/4 cup tomatoes, medium dice
1/4 cup onion, medium dice
2 chipotle peppers, cut in strips

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish (i use a shallow baking dish) spread out the ground beef evenly. Pour the lemon juice on it and mix it in well with a fork.
  • Leave in refrigerator overnight, mixing with a fork every few hours so as to "cook" the beef.
  • When ready to serve, add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chipotle peppers, salt, and pepper.
  • I usually serve this on tostadas with a little hot sauce (valentina brand preferred, found in mexican section in grocery stores.).
