How To Make peruvian lamb stew/seco de cordero
-
Step 1Cut the meat into approximate 2 inch cubes.
-
Step 2Mix the vinegar with the garlic, cumin, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and some salt and pepper. Pour over the meat. Let the meat marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Step 3Purée the cilantro (stems removed) with some water in a blender until you get a smooth paste.
-
Step 4Heat the 3-4 tablespoons of oil in a large pot on high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Remove the meat to a plate.
-
Step 5Lower the heat and add the onion and aji pepper to the pot with the leftover marinade. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 6Add the meat back to the pot along with the beer, the cilantro purée and the cup of stock. Cover and cook over low heat until the meat is tender, about an hour.
-
Step 7Peel and quarter the potatoes and add them to the stew; continue to cook over low heat until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more, adding chicken broth if needed.
-
Step 8Serve warm over rice.
