Salpicon(Chopped Beef with Mint and Orange)

In a heavy saucepan cover the beef with water, add the salt and bring the water to a boil, skimming the froth as it rises to the surface.

Simmer the beef, covered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours or until it is very tender and let it cool in the broth, uncovered.

Transfer the beef with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, reserving the broth and chop it fine.

In a bowl, combine the beef, orange juice, 1/4 cup of the reserved broth, onion, mint, lemon juice, pepper and salt to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.

Set in the center of a platter and surround it with corn chips for dipping.

Makes about 2 1/2 cups, serving 6 as an hors d'oeuvre.
