Picante de carne

Picante de carne is a traditional stew originating from Peru. Although there are many variations, it's usually made with a combination of beef (flank steak, beef shank, skirt steak, brisket, or neck), onions, garlic, cumin, hot peppers, oil, vegetable stock, fava beans, potatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. The meat is seasoned with salt and pepper and browned in oil. The onions and garlic are sautéed until soft and mixed with cumin, hot peppers, stock, and browned beef. The mixture is simmered until the meat is tender, and the fava beans and potatoes are then added to the pot and cooked until tender. Chopped parsley is stirred into the stew and it's served white rice on the side.
