Recipe by: Jo Merrill Normally served as a breakfast dish, machaca has
become accepted as a main course for dinner or lunch as well.
* Original recipes calls for lard but you can use corn or safflower oil.
Cut the beef into small cubes.  Place in a large saucepan with salted water
to cover.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer.  Cook, partially
covered, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour.  Cool the meat slightly in
its broth, then drain and shred with a fork. In a large skillet, heat 2
tablespoons of lard (or oil).  Add the onion and cook and stir until it is
transparent.  Add chilies and tomatoes and cook over medium heat 2-3
minutes.  Add salt to taste. In another large skillet, heat the remaining
lard or oil almost to the smoking point. Add the shredded beef and cook and
stir until lightly browned. Add the chili-tomato mixture. Stir in the
beaten eggs, continuing to stir until they are just set. Serve at once.
