Hi everybody welcome back to my channel this is Laura for today's recipe what I'm going to share with you is how I make my version of fidel local the difference of the way I make it is I use round steak instead of hamburger meat but they're both delicious either delicious it's just whatever your preference is my recipe I'm going to use just one box of fidel if you need more for your family just double it up it's real easy it's a good recipe that you can double up what I'm making if you have a larger family and it's very cost-efficient with the hamburger meat it go even further so that's a good plate to have if you're new here welcome my name is Laura or I post baking and cooking videos at least twice a week right now I'm posting every day until the end of the year so make sure you always look in the description box or up in the cards for my latest videos don't forget leave us a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel and most importantly hit that notification bell so you can be notified every time I upload a new video okay guys let's get started we're going to start the recipe by frying up the fidel there are several kinds of fidel they have some that are very fine and thin I am going to use this one this is probably the most common one that I think people use in their household for this particular recipe so we're going to fry this first just so we don't have to bust out two pods or two skillets you're going to add about two tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil whenever your choice we are going to fry up the fidel and you don't want to rush this you want to get this as golden brown as you possibly can without burning it okay it takes a few minutes I take my time with it so I'm just going to leave you here in real time so you can see how this fries up and change this color okay I brought you in real close so that you could see the color of the fidel once it starts getting this real golden color here just like that it starts to turn real quick so don't turn your back on it or stop stirring it because it will burn on you this needs about one more minute and then we're done okay I'm going to turn it off and we're going to take it out of here and show up our meat in the same pot okay I'm just going to pour in the noodles into this bowl and set them aside I think you can see the color of the noodles here better okay that's the color that you want them okay we're going to set these aside okay so the pot already has a little bit of oil from the noodles and now we're going to add our meat on medium to high heat the only thing that we're going to add to the meat at this point is a little bit of salt and what I added in for me I use a round steak you can use whatever you prefer most people for this recipe like to use hamburger meat it's the same thing other than I like it in pieces I like to meet a little chunks like this but it's the same thing you would cook the hamburger meat at this point just like we're doing the meat now okay we're going to let this cook down it's going to take it a good 20 minutes for all the water to come out of it we're going to brown the meat a little bit so we're going to cover it and I will be back in a little while I came back on to show you all after five minutes this is what the meat is going to look like so don't panic that it's got released a bunch of water because this is exactly what it's going to do but we're going to continue to cook this until the water evaporates all righty guys the water has evaporated and you see how the oil that thing there is kind of frying up the meat and that's what we want so now we're just going to let this fry up a little bit for about 10 minutes just until it's nice cold and brown brown up that meat real nice okay now that the meat is nice and brown we're going to add our pepper our gomino our onion and our garlic and we're going to fry this up wake up those spices and fry it until the onion is just tender and you can smell those spices waking up so you know that your food is going to have lots of flavor okay now that our onions are completely tender and the meat is real nice and toasty or browned I should say we are going to add our tomatoes we're going to add some crushed tomato some tomato sauce and the chicken broth you can use water if you don't want to use chicken broth that's okay we're going to bring this up to the boil and we're going to add some chicken bouillon consumer the boil or whatever flavor you have and this is where you're going to taste it for salt after it comes to the boil we're going to taste it for salt to see if it needs any salt and we're going to let this simmer for about 15 minutes before we add in our fidel okay I've added the liquid and everything we're going to wait till this comes back up to the boil turn it down let it simmer for 15 minutes and we'll be all righty it's been 20 minutes the meat has been simmering here what we need to do here is to make sure that your meat is nice and tender before we add in our fidel and as you can see here it's falling apart very easily so I know that the meat is ready and it is now ready for the fidel the last portion of the video so you just add your fidel give it a little stir and you're going to cover this and let it cook for an additional about 12 minutes no more than that and then turn it off see it's already simmering so we just want to cook it for about 12 minutes or so you check it just to make sure it doesn't overcook okay guys it's been 13 actually 13 minutes I'm going to show you what this looks like I turned off the fire we're just going to let it sit here and this is what it looks like doesn't that look delicious okay we're just going to leave it covered it's almost like when you're serving rice you don't want to mess with it too much leave it covered for about five minutes let that fidel absorb all that broth I'm going to serve us up a plate so you can see what it looks like all righty this is our bowl of fidel with round steak in it what I would consider fidel loco but with round steak instead of hamburger meat but you can have it either way it's the same this is delicious I can smell it we're going to put a little bit of salsic in here hmm mix up those beans and look at that I wish you could see this look at that yummy you bring you in for a close-up delicious okay guys let's see what this tastes like hmm perfect for this weather delicious hmm very very good the meat is very soft the fidel is just perfectly cooked all over cooking because I make a big difference in how this plate is
