Res guisada

Mix the beef with the lime juice, garlic, oregano, salt, onion, green pepper and coriander in a bowl. Cover and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or in the fridge overnight.

• 1 kg beef chuck
• 1 lime, juiced lime juice
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1½ tsp salt
• 1 onion
• 1 green pepper
• 2 tbsp coriander

✅ C'est prêt quand : beef pieces are evenly coated in the marinade

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot (at least 6 litres, big enough to later hold all the vegetables and water) over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and let it turn dark amber, about 1-2 minutes, then lift the beef out of the marinade and add it carefully, as it will splatter. Turn the beef to coat it and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes.

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 kg marinated beef

✅ C'est prêt quand : beef is browned on all sides with a deep mahogany color
