One of THE best I've discovered on this site. Not a well known recipe but absoloutely wonderful comfort food. Using grilled meat or searing it first gives more depth of flavor. I also oven roasted the tomatillos and a jalapeno before blending.

The flavor was great. I was worried with 3 cayenne peppers that it would be too spicy. But I could have added more. It was hardly noticeable. I agree that a cheaper cut of meat could have been used and definitely simmer this for a long time (crockpot!) to tenderize the meat. A great way to use tomatillos.

A total hit with my family. Very Yummy! I did however use fresh cooked beans (de la olla) instead of the canned, which i think made the recipe even better.

This was sooo yummy! I am going to start making this regularly. The only change I made was I used stew meat (easier) and instead of the serrano peppers I used chopped green new mexico chile (we buy sacks and store bags of it in the freezer) I've been craving an authentic mexican meal and this hit the spot! My husband loved it and even suggested making it for family get togethers! Yum!

The recipe works best with very thin slices of flank steak or skirt steak. I have tried both. Last week I blended a few pieces of the browned meat with the tomatillo for added flavor and the result was even better.

This was great! only minor improvement would be slow cooking the meat with the tomatio sauce for a long period of time (8 hours?). Then adding the beans and bacon in about and hour before eating. Can't wait to try this one again!!

We loved this recipe! I served (almost like a gravy) over plain white rice. I also had a bowl of tortilla chips on the table to dip with. DELISH!!! Our grocery store was out of serrano peppers. So I substituted 1 large banana pepper. I will try with the serrano peppers the next time.
