Aromatic Costa Rican Braised Beef Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: beef, carrot, coriander, tomato, cinnamon, butter, turmeric.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Costa Rican flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Costa Rican accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
