Ingredients
- A dash of canola oil
- A generous portion of thickly sliced shallots
- A sprinkle of minced garlic
- Vibrant red bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
- A hint of chipotle chile powder, adjust to personal preference
- Ground cumin to taste
- Tender cubed roast beef
- Baby red potatoes, halved for a rustic touch
- Pure water
- Flavorful beef broth
- A touch of dried oregano
- Season with salt and pepper
- Freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color
- Sliced hard-cooked eggs, quarter-inch thick slices
Step 1
Warm up a generous amount of canola oil in a sturdy Dutch oven set over a medium flame. Toss in the aromatic shallots, garlic, and a hint of spicy red pepper. Let them mingle and sizzle until the shallots take on a lovely translucent glow, which should take around 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the smoky chipotle powder and earthy cumin, allowing their flavors to bloom for about half a minute until they perfume the air.
Step 2
Now, gently introduce the tender roast beef and chunks of red potatoes into the mix, followed by a soothing pour of water and rich beef broth. Crank up the heat until the liquid reaches a lively boil, then dial it back to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the pot and let everything mingle and meld together until the potatoes turn soft and yielding, which should take roughly 30 minutes. Just before the grand finale, stir in the fragrant oregano, and season the stew with a pinch of salt and a generous crack of pepper.
Step 3
As a final flourish, sprinkle in freshly chopped parsley right before serving to add a pop of fresh green color and herby aroma. To elevate each serving, adorn it with a few delicate slices of perfectly hard-cooked egg as a delightful garnish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your Peppered Beef Ajiaco fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its flavors and prevent any outside odors from seeping in.
- 2. If you're planning to freeze your Peppered Beef Ajiaco for later use, portion it out into individual servings before freezing. This way, you can easily thaw and reheat only what you need without compromising the dish's quality.
