Steps

1

In a skillet or pot, fry the bacon strips. Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
2

SAUCE: Blend together all the raw ingredients: tomatillos, tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, jalapeños, 1 cup water, and a little salt. Adjust salt at the end, since the bacon will add saltiness.
3

In the same pot or skillet where you fried the bacon, add the chopped bacon and cook for about 4 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel. Add the beef and sear it (do not fully cook). Add the chicken bouillon and ground pepper, mixing well with the meat.
4

Sauté the spring onions.
5

Add the blended sauce and about 8 1/2 cups water (2 liters, or adjust to your preference) to the meat. Add the chopped bacon.
6

Add the spring onions.
7

Bring to a boil and cook for 25-30 minutes.
8

Check and adjust salt as needed.
