Chef Tips

- Boil the carne-seca in water twice, changing the liquid to remove excess salt before shredding. - Fry the rice grains along with the meat for 2 minutes before pouring in the hot broth to keep them loose. - Let the covered pan rest off the heat for 5 minutes before opening so the steam settles the grains.

Variations

- Carreteiro with fried egg: serve each dish crowned with a fried egg with a runny yolk, golden in butter from the carter's jug. - Touch of peeled tomato: add two chopped tomatoes to the sauté for a redder and moister carreteiro. - With coalho cheese: sprinkle cubes of grilled queijo coalho in the final minutes of resting in the pan.

Substitutions

- Traditional carne-seca can be replaced by leftover shredded barbecue meat, charque, or shredded ribs. - The white long-grain rice can be replaced by parboiled rice or cateto rice while keeping the broth. - The green bell pepper can be replaced with sweet red bell pepper or two bay leaves in the sauté.

How to Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat while maintaining the moisture of the grains, place in a pan over low heat with two tablespoons of boiling water and cover for about 4 minutes.

Can You Freeze It?

Can be frozen in individual portions in proper plastic containers for up to 2 months. Defrost directly in the microwave for 3 minutes or in a hot skillet with a drop of olive oil, stirring gently with a fork.

What to Serve With

Combines with buttered cooked cassava, cabbage salad with tomato, traditional vinaigrette, and crispy egg farofa. To drink, pair with Uruguayan Tannat red wine, dark craft beer, or iced mate with lemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to desalt carne-seca quickly and efficiently?

Cut into medium cubes and boil in a pot with plenty of water for 15 minutes; change the water and repeat the boiling before cooking.

Why shouldn't traditional arroz carreteiro be mushy?

Rice fried in the meat fat before the broth seals the grains, keeping the texture fluffy yet moist and enveloping.

Can I use homemade beef broth in cubes?

Homemade stock made with vegetables and trimmings is healthier; if using commercial cubes, pay attention to the salt already present in the meat.

What is the difference between carne-seca and charque in this recipe?

Charque has a more intense salting and dehydration process; both work, as long as they are properly desalted beforehand.
