Cut the beef into large cubes and puree the cilantro with a little water.
Cook the onion and garlic in a pot for 5 minutes.
Add the beef and sear it for 6 minutes.
Add the cilantro puree, aji amarillo puree, and hot water.
Cook the stew over low heat for 45 minutes so the beef fibers do not stay tough.
Rest the sauce for 5 minutes so the beef fibers absorb it.
💡 Tip: Adding the cilantro near the end helps preserve its color.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place the seco de res in a deep plate with its cilantro broth and leave the garlic sauce on top.
