Llanero Roasted Veal
Mamona / Ternera a la Llanera is listed in Meat and Grill for Llanos / Orinoquía. Follow the verified ingredients and numbered instructions below.
Blend beer, garlic, scallion, salt, and optional cumin and marinate the meat for 6 hours.
Traditionally, large cuts are mounted on stakes around a wood fire and cooked slowly by radiant heat.
At home, arrange the cuts around the cooler zone of a charcoal grill or roast them at 300°F/150°C until tender, then finish directly over high heat.
Baste occasionally with marinade that has been boiled first, or with a separate clean batch.
Rest before slicing.
