How to Make Baho Beef Plantains And Yuca Steamed In Banana Leaves

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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!
