- 1
Marinate the ground beef with lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 2
Finely chop the onion, dice the peppers, and grate the tomatoes. Grate the fresh corn and set it aside.

In a pot, saute the onion and peppers in olive oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and stir for 1 more minute to build the sofrito base.
6 min06:00 - 4
Add the marinated beef and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until its color changes. Stir in the tomatoes.
8 min08:00 - 5
Add the grated corn and cornmeal, then pour in 1 cup of hot water. Stir constantly over low heat for 45 minutes until it reaches a polenta-like consistency.

💡 Tip: If sour orange is available, use 1 tablespoon instead of lemon to make the Cuban character more distinct. Freshly grating the corn and stirring it for 45 minutes creates the polenta-like texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in deep bowls with fresh parsley on top, lime wedges on the side, and mild pickled onions.
