Global InformationCarne mechada information
Carne mechada is a stewed meat dish traditional of Spanish and Latin American cuisine. It involves slow-cooking or braising a piece of meat, often beef or pork, until it becomes tender and easy to shred.
In Latin America, carne mechada has developed variations and flavors depending on the country and region. In Venezuela and Colombia, carne mechada is made with flank steak or skirt steak that is boiled until tender, then shredded and cooked with onions, sweet red bell peppers, and cumin.[1] In Venezuela it is often served as part of a dish called "pabellón criollo," which includes rice, black beans, and fried plantains.[2] Carne mechada is also used as a filling for arepas, empanadas, or sandwiches.[1]
