Dinner at my house is usually a fusion of New Orleans Cajun meets Latin foods. One night I’m cooking New Orleans Style favorites like Gumbo, homemade shrimp poboys or shrimp etouffee, then my next meal might consists of carnitas, mole’, and any other Latin food dish I grew up on. One of my favorite meals growing was Bistec con Papas (Steak & Potatoes). Growing up my mother was always on the look out for inexpensive cuts of meat so she can change our “chicken again?” menu. Shoulder steak is generally inexpensive, so if it was marked down, that usually meant we were having Bistec con Papas.
The Mazola brand has come out with easy to use chicken & beef bouillon packets called Mazola Sobrecitos. These are easy to use self measured Bouillon packets that completely dissolve leaving no chucks in your food. They are also cholesterol & fat free which is always a plus in any household. I was recently sent a selection of Mazola Sobrecitos in both chicken & tomato flavor, so I decide to give them a try with a new Latin dish. But when I went to Mazola en Español Facebook page to try out a new recipe, I found out that Chef LaLa has her version of Bistec con Papas that was similar to what I grew up on.
Once my dish was complete I found that the sea salt that is in the Mazola Sobrecitos gave the dish a nice smooth flavor, not biter like some of bouillon cubes give. It did dissolve very easily and was completely smooth while cooking which is always great for myself (a busy Latina) and other women who don’t have time to fight with chunks in my food & like the complete ease of self measured easy to pour packets. Chef LaLa’s recipe was similar to what I grow up with a small twist. I think the twist was the flavor sea salt the Mazola Sobrecitos versus regular Bouillon cubes (that and the jalapenos in her recipe gave the Bistec con Papas a huge flavor kick)!
