Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw peas
  • Carrots 2
  • 4 yellow or white potatoes
  • 1 kilo of beef
  • 2 red onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup of liquefied yellow pepper
  • 1/2 cup of aji mirasol blended
  • 1 glass of chicha de jora (it can also be 1 glass of lager)
  • 1 cup of cilantro blended
  • Salt, pepper and cumin powder to taste

Preparation of Seco de res a la Limeña

  1. We start this magical recipe by cutting a kilo of boneless meat or a kilo and a half if it is meat with bone in large pieces and brown in a pot with a splash of oil, remove the pieces and reserve.
  2. In the same pot we make a dressing with two finely chopped red onions that we sweat for 5 minutes. Then add a tablespoon of ground garlic and sweat for 2 more minutes. Add half a cup of liquefied yellow pepper and half a cup of liquefied mirasol pepper. We sweat for 5 more minutes and complement with a glass of chicha de jora or a glass of lager.
  3. We now add a cup of blended coriander, and let it come to a boil. We put salt, pepper and cumin powder to taste.
  4. We return now with the meat. We cover with water and cover. Letting the stew cook over low heat until the meat is soft, that is, the bone falls off if it has bone or is cut with a spoon if it does not have bone. We must go looking and testing.
  5. When the meat is done, we add a cup of raw peas, two raw carrots cut into thick slices and four large yellow or white potatoes, peeled and cut in two.
  6. When the potatoes are cooked, we turn off the heat and let everything sit beautifully and voila!

We accompany it with white rice or with its good beans. If you want to combine these two garnishes, please do so, but don't be too frequent. :)

Tips for making a delicious Seco de res a la Limeña

Did you know…?

  • Beef can be incorporated once or twice a week into the family menu, because it provides a lot of protein, iron, zinc and gives us a lot of strength. That builds muscle mass.
  • In the Seco de res recipe we find an important element that is coriander. Coriander is almost a medicine, that intense green color that it has are many antioxidants and it also helps fight many intestinal bacteria for the benefit of health.
  • Chicha de Jora is a fermented drink native to Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Whose base is in corn and according to each region it can be carob, quinoa, molle or yucca. In Peruvian gastronomy it is used as a drink and for the maceration of meats that give a special flavor to dishes such as the famous Seco de cordero and the Arequipeño Adobo.
