Olluco con Carne

Method

Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot and brown the beef chunks in batches, then set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, then add the tomato paste and chilli powder, stirring for one minute. Return the beef to the pot, add the stock, salt, pepper and cumin seeds, then bring to a simmer and cook covered for 45 minutes until the beef is tender. Add the olluco and potato chunks, and continue simmering for 20-25 minutes until both are completely tender but not disintegrating. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve in bowls garnished with fresh coriander and accompanied by warm bread.
