What each ingredient does
- Raw beefsteak
- Forms the main body of the dish, providing all of its meaty texture and flavor.
- Oatmeal cracker crumbs
- Absorb moisture and add a light, grainy texture to the shredded meat.
The step that matters
Remove all skin and fat from the beef. Skin and sinew do not soften when served raw and leave chewy, unpleasant bits, while fat adds greasy mouthfeel. Trimming them thoroughly before shredding gives the cleanest texture.
