- 1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper
- 2 tablespoons of ají panca liquefied
- 1 tablespoon of liquefied yellow pepper
- 1 cup of tomato sauce

Preparation of beef stew
- We choose a kilo of beef for stew, if it is with bone, look for strip roast in large pieces. If boneless choose brisket, shoulder, silverside roast, Russian roast, or cheek.
- We season it with salt, pepper and brown it with a splash of oil in a saucepan that is not very high and preferably with a thick bottom.
- We remove it and in that same pot, make a dressing with 1 cup of finely diced red onion. We sweat it for 5 minutes with half a cup of finely chopped red pepper, then we add a tablespoon of ground garlic. We sweat for a minute.
- Add two tablespoons of liquefied panca pepper and one tablespoon of liquefied yellow pepper. Cook for 5 minutes and add a cup of blended tomato and a little red wine.
- Bring to a boil adding salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, ground cumin, 1 sprig of rosemary, two sprigs of parsley and 1 bay leaf.
- We return to the meat and add water to cover it over a very low heat for 40 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the cut chosen. When we feel it is about 10 minutes away, we add 1 large carrot cut into slices, a cup of green peas and 4 yellow potatoes cut in two. Of course, be careful that the yellow potatoes do not fall apart and cloud the sauce (we must not overcook them).
- Add two tablespoons of raisins, bring to a boil, taste the salt and that's it.
The ideal accompaniment is a little white rice.
