Instructions
Slice the beef into ½ inch squares and mix in a bowl with salt and pepper. Cover and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
Cut the plantains or unripe bananas into approximately 2 inch pieces.
Prepare a pan at medium heat and add enough oil to cover surface. Cook the bananas until each side is bright yellow or slightly browned.
Remove it from the pan and place it back in the bowl. Mash as small as you like and set aside.
Cook the beef in the same pan with enough oil for sauteing, until almost all of it has browned.
Add in the chicha de jora, piso or white tequila. Continually mix for 3 - 5 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates to half.
Mix in the oregano, cumin, ají amarillo paste and ají panca paste. Make sure to fully coat the beef, simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the chopped red onions, garlic, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Cook until all these soften.
Add back the mashed bananas, mix well, cook till the bananas are warm
Take it off the heat, squeeze a lemon over the contents, mixing slightly before serving. Top with a garnish of parsley for color.
