Beefy filling

As a detective, when I first read the crossword clue ‘Beefy filling‘, I immediately thought of different types of beef dishes that could fit the description. I considered beef stew, beef potpie, and even burgers. However, I knew that the solution had to be a two-word answer, and none of these options seemed to fit. That’s when a thought struck me that the answer could be a Spanish term for a beef dish. I searched my memory banks for Spanish dishes that could fit the bill, and then I came up with ‘CARNEASADA‘. It’s a juicy, flavorful, Mexican cuisine dish consisting of grilled or roasted beef, almost always skirt steak or flank steak, which is usually served on tortillas with a variety of toppings. The term comprises of two Spanish words “carne,” which means “meat,” and “asada,” which means “grilled” or “roasted“. This beefy filling is perfect for any Mexican feast or a simple taco night with family or friends. It’s the ideal solution to this particular crossword clue that had me brainstorming until I remembered the delicious steak that comprises Carne Asada.
