corn on the cob

🥗Healthier: frozen corn

Canned corn is often less expensive and easy to use.

Add beef short ribs to hot water to soften them quickly.

Chop green onion and garlic finely, and add them to the pot with the beef.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of beef broth to the pot, cover, and let the meat soften completely.

Peel yucca and potatoes, and wash all ingredients (green plantain and corn) thoroughly.

Check if the beef is tender before adding other ingredients.

Peel the green plantain carefully to avoid using too much knife, as taught by the creator's grandmother.

Add yucca and corn to the pot along with the green plantain, salt, a handful of cilantro, cover, and let cook for about 10 minutes until the yucca softens.

Wash a ripe plantain and cut it with the skin on, then add it to the pot along with the potatoes.

Cover and let the sancocho reach the desired texture.

Turn off the heat and add a tablespoon of chopped green onion and cilantro, letting it rest before serving.
