Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 1 hour 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 kg beef (brisket or shoulder)
- ½ kg Cassava
- 3 green bananas
- 3 white ocum
- ½ kg of pumpkin
- 2 Lt of water (you can use beef broth)
- 2 diced onion
- 1 head of garlic
- 3 sprigs of coriander finely chopped
- 2 sprigs of chives finely chopped
- 6 sweet peppers, diced
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- ¼ cup oil
- ½ tablespoon of cumin
Preparation
- The first thing to do is chop the meat and vegetables into 1 cm thick squares. Now we must cook the meat in water for an hour with salt and half of the chopped seasonings.
- After removing the meat from the saucepan and making sure it is soft, we must strain the broth and reserve it.
- Then fry the other half of the dressings in oil (chives, chili, onion and diced garlic) in the same pot where we parboil the meat
- After our dressings are fried, return the meat to the pot along with the rest of the dressings and cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly.
- The half of the beef broth that we reserved previously must be added to the preparation, along with the yucca, the mole and the squash, chopped into small cubes and cook for 20 more minutes.
- To finish we add the squash, coriander, cumin and salt. Cook for 10 more minutes over high heat. If you feel that the preparation is too dry, you can add a little more beef broth. We rectify the salt levels and serve hot in a deep plate.
