👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Soak the dried beef (carne seca) and smoked pork ribs in cold water for 24-48 hours, changing the water several times to desalinate them; then boil them until tender.
2. Separately, soak black beans overnight; drain, then cook in fresh water with bay leaves until tender but not mushy.
3. In a large pot, sauté diced bacon until crispy; remove bacon, leaving the fat in the pot.
4. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
5. Add cooked black beans (with some of their cooking liquid), desalinated beef, ribs, sliced smoked sausage, and the reserved crispy bacon to the pot; simmer for at least 30-60 minutes.
6. Stir well, adjust consistency with more bean cooking liquid or water if needed, and serve hot.
