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.
Ingredients:
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 tomato, medium dice
1/4 cup onion, medium dice
2 chipotle peppers, cut in strips
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Leave in refrigerator overnight, mixing with a fork every few hours so as to cook the beef.
3. When ready to serve, add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chipotle peppers, salt, and pepper.
4. I usually serve this on tostadas with a little hot sauce (valentina brand preferred, found in mexican section in grocery stores.).
