Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup corn oil

  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless beef short ribs, 6oz. each peace

  • 1 chopped red onion

  • 4 Tbsp Garlic paste

  • 4 Tbsp aji amarillo paste

  • 1 Tbsp aji panca or aji colorado

  • 3 cups cilantro leaves

  • 2 cups beef stock

  • 2 cups peas

  • 2 cans beer (pale Ale, Sierra Nevada, or similar)

  • 1 cup butternut squash

  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over high heat; sear the beef pieces until they are golden brown. Reserve.
  • In a pot sauté the onions until translucent. Add the aji amarillo paste, aji colorado, and garlic; stir and let them cook for one minute.
  • Put the cilantro in the blender and process with half a cup of water. Reserve.
  • Pour half of the cilantro mix into the sautéed onions, and add the seared short rib pieces. The cilantro is going to get a dark green color. Pour the beer and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 – 4 hours with the lid on. Check eventually and add beef broth if necessary.
  • When the meat is fork tender add the green peas; cook uncovered until the peas are tender.
  • The stew is ready! Time to add the other half of the blended cilantro, stir, and serve.
