Jenny’s Yummy Winter Fideo Recipe

According to the weatherman, winter isn’t over just yet. That means that I can still enjoy a few more hot bowls of fideo (my winter comfort dish). I’ve tried many in restaurants and many other people’s versions, but to this day I still prefer my father’s recipe. This probably has more to do with the nostalgic value than my father’s culinary skills.

Everytime I saw that little, yellow vermicelli box sitting on the kitchen counter I knew it could only mean one thing: FIDEO! Regardless of the reason, I think my dad makes a damn good bowl of fideo and he has given me his permission to share it with the NewsTaco community. Enjoy!

• 2 Tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 Pound round steak, cut into cubes
• 5 Ounces Vermicelli noodles
• 2 Cups water
• 3 Tablespoons Fiesta Fideo Ole seasoning

Heat oil in large pan and cook steak cubes until well done. Remove the steak from the pan. Add the Vermicelli noodles to the pan and lightly brown. Add two cups of water, the meat and the seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
