How to Make Baho Beef Plantains And Yuca Steamed In Banana Leaves
- On Saturday, prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the beef with the garlic, onion, achiote paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the beef is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- On Sunday, prepare the plantains and yuca: Peel and slice the plantains into 2-inch thick rounds. Peel and cut the yuca into 1-inch thick chunks.
- Layer the ingredients: Place a large banana leaf on a flat surface. Arrange a layer of yuca on the leaf, followed by half of the marinated beef, and then a layer of plantains. Top with the remaining beef and yuca, then cover with another banana leaf.
- Seal and steam: Fold the edges of the banana leaves over the ingredients to create a sealed packet. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Place the packet in a large pot with about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and steam for 270 minutes (4.5 hours).
- Serve: Carefully open the banana leaf packet. Serve the Baho Beef hot, directly from the leaves, accompanied by your favorite sides like rice or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
