Bring water to a boil and cook the choclos until tender.

Add a pinch of sugar to the choclos to enhance their sweetness, adjusting based on the amount used.

Cut the cheese into large pieces.

In a skillet, heat a little oil (optional) and prepare the cheese without adding too much oil, as it has moisture that will help it melt.

Season the chuletas de res (beef chops) to taste, aiming for medium doneness.

Sear the chuletas in the skillet until caramelized, then add a bit of water from the choclos to create a sauce.

Layer the cooked potatoes on a serving plate.

Add the choclos, habas, and then the chuletas on top.

Serve hot, garnished with quirquiña.
