The Sonoran style machaca is salted, dried in the sun and broiled and pounded.
Diana Kennedy suggests the following; she notes that it is salty and isn't picante (as it is made in Sonora/Sinaloa, MX). Heat it up as you see fit! Mochomos Sinaloenses
Cut 2 # of rump steak, w/some fat on into 1" cubes. Add 1½ Tbs sea salt and enough water to cover it in a single layer in a heavy frying pan.
Bring to boil, cook slowly uncovered until water is gone and meat is tender, but not too soft. Continue drying meat over a low flame until dried and slightly crusty on the outside. Let cool.
Place meat 2 or 3 pieces at at time in a blender and shred. Heat some lard in a frying pan, add ½ lb sliced white onion and fry for 1 min. Remove.
Add ¼ C more lard, heat, add meat and 1 poblano chile (seeded, roasted and cut into small squares) and stir until meat is just browing. Add onions and serve.
