Seco de Carne (Peruvian Beef Stew)

Written by peruanista on June 24th, 2009

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cubes of chicken bouillon
  • 2 Kg of meat (4 pounds) (I use top sirloin, but that is just a personal preference)
  • Garlic powder (3 spoonfuls)
  • 3 onions
  • 2 anaheim hot peppers
  • 1 hot pepper (habanero, jalapeno or south american aji)
  • 1/3 cup of vinegar
  • 1 cup of red wine
  • Cumin (1 spoonful)
  • Cilantro (2 bunches)
  • 1 1/2 cups of peas
  • 1 red pepper
  • olive oil and salt

PREPARATION

  • Make a cilantro and hot pepper mix: In a food processor put the cilandro and peppers. As you add the cilantro and peppers into the processor, add a little olive oil to make it easier to make the mix
  • Cut the meat in pieces. Season it with salt, the cumin and garlic powder. Let it marinade in the wine and vinegar for about 1/2 hour
  • Fry the onions until they are transparent and add the rest of the garlic powder
  • Place the meat and the cilantro/pepper mix into the pan with the onions. After a few minutes add 1/4 cup of water, the chicken bouillon and the marinade liquid
  • Cook at medium heat for half an hour
  • add the peas and slices of the red pepper
  • Cook at low heat for another half hour to 45 minutes
