Step-by-step preparation
1
🔥 Sear the beef
Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
2
🧅 Make the base
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add the sliced bell peppers and cook 5 minutes more.
3
🍅 Add tomatoes
Stir in canned tomatoes, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients well.
4
🥘 Braise
Return beef to the pot with broth. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 60-75 minutes until beef is very tender.
5
🍴 Shred
Remove beef with a fork and shred it directly into the stew. The meat should fall apart easily. Simmer 5 minutes more.
💡 Chef's tip: Serve with white rice, fried plantains, and black beans for the complete Cuban experience.
