Note from Delish:
I’ve seen several versions of Mechado everywhere. This one I made simple and easy. You can also add bay leaves to add more flavor. But for me the taste of lemon makes this dish yummy and tasty.
To cook it even faster, you can use a pressure cooker. Or you need to boil the beef for about 45 minutes to an hour.
