Wash the rice and cook it as plain pilaf.
Blend the cilantro, green peppers, and 0.5 cup of beef stock to make a green sauce.
Rub the diced beef with salt, black pepper, and cumin.
Sear the beef in olive oil for 8 minutes, until it takes on color.
Add the chopped onion and garlic and soften for 6 minutes.
Add the green sauce, remaining beef stock, carrots, and potatoes to the pot.
Cook the seco de carne over low heat for 55 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Add the peas and cook for 6 more minutes, then serve hot with rice.
💡 Tip: Blend the cilantro with its stems; using only leaves makes the seco sauce weaker, while the stems give the Peruvian-style green body.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve seco de carne hot with white rice, boiled potatoes, and red onion salad if desired.
