Note
Beef with Potatoes is a very common dish in Cuban cuisine. There are many ways to prepare it, but the quickest version is the one we present in this recipe. For this preparation, we use a pressure cooker, also known as a rapid pot. Although the cooking time is shorter, it remains just as flavorful, and we guarantee that the meat will be perfectly tender. We hope you enjoy this recipe, and if you make it at home, don't forget to share your photos on our Facebook pages, Comida Cubana or CiberCuba Cocina.
Ingredients
- 500 grams of beef
- 1 cup of dry wine
- ½ cup of tomato sauce
- 1 sour orange or lemon
- 1 large onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 clove of garlic
- 5 ripe tomatoes
- 4 sweet peppers
- 125 grams of potatoes
- ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 bunch of parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
Cut the meat into pieces and season it with salt and pepper. Add the sour orange or lemon, the ground cumin, and let it marinate for a while in that marinade along with the finely chopped parsley.
Prepare a sofrito with chopped onion, crushed garlic, a bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and peppers cut into small pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized chunks.
Place everything in the pressure cooker; first, brown the meat with the sofrito ingredients, then add the potatoes and cover everything with the dry wine and tomato sauce. Close the pot and cook over medium heat until it reaches pressure. Maintain it for 15 minutes on medium or low heat.
When it's ready, check the density of the sauce; if you want it thicker, just let the meat cook a little longer on low heat. Avoid stirring so that the potato pieces don't break apart.
When serving, remove the bay leaf. Serve it with white rice.
