Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Beef chuck
- 1.5 lb Butternut squash
- 2 cups Corn
- 2 Sweet potatoes
- 2 Peaches
- 1 Onion
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 1 tbsp Paprika
Steps
- Brown the beef in batches — crowding the pot steams it grey instead of searing it brown.
- Soften the onion, bloom the paprika, and return the beef with the broth to simmer 40 minutes.
- Add the squash and sweet potatoes in big chunks; simmer 25 minutes until just tender.
- Stir in the corn and the peaches — the fruit is the criollo signature, sweet against the savory.
- Simmer 10 minutes more and serve in hollowed-out squash or deep bowls with crusty bread.
