👨🍳 STEP-BY-STEP PREPARATION:

Step 1: Prepare the beans

Soak the canary beans overnight. The next day, cook them in salted water until tender but firm. Set aside.

Step 2: Sear the meat

Cut the meat into medium-sized pieces. In a large pot, heat oil and sear the meat on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the dressing

In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add 2 tablespoons of Sibarita garlic paste, 3 tablespoons of Sibarita Amarillin, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Add the cilantro

Add 4 tablespoons of La Latina cilantro paste and mix well. This is the ingredient that gives the seco its characteristic green color and unique aroma.

Step 5: Cook the meat

Return the meat to the pot, add the chopped tomatoes and the chicha de jora or beef broth. Mix well, add a pinch of Ajinomoto, cover, and cook over low heat for 1 hour.

Step 6: Add the vegetables

After 1 hour, add the peas, carrot, and a little more water if needed. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes, or until the meat is very tender.

Step 7: Add the beans

Add the cooked canary beans and mix gently. Cook for 10 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8: Serve hot

Serve the beef stew piping hot with white rice, boiled yucca, and salsa criolla. The traditional taste of Peru on your table!
