Soak mote overnight in water to soften, using 800 grams of mote and 3 liters of water.

In a large pot, boil water and add the beef (500 grams), cooking for about 1-2.5 hours until tender.

Remove the beef and let it cool before shredding it into pieces.

In the same pot, add the soaked mote and cook until it bursts, about 1-2.5 hours depending on how well it was soaked.

Add diced potatoes to the pot and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

In a separate pot, heat oil and sauté chopped onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add salt, pepper, and cumin to the sautéed mixture to enhance the flavors.

Combine the sautéed mixture with the beef and add to the pot with mote and potatoes, stirring well.

Adjust seasoning as needed and let simmer for a few more minutes to meld the flavors.
