A couple years ago, we found ourselves hungry for lunch in downtown Denver. We were near the convention center, and wandered about for a bit looking for an interesting restaurant - preferably with a lunch buffet. We came across a small restaurant called Los Cabos II, a Peruvian restaurant with a reasonably-priced buffet option. At the time, we weren't very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, but we knew we liked aji de gallina, so for that alone, went inside to check it out.
It was that day that we came across this dish, Seco de Res (or also Seco de Carne, depending on who you ask). It's a hearty green stew with big chunks of succulent beef, usually served on rice or with stewed wheat. Unfortunately, at the time, we had this at the buffet, and didn't catch the name of it. We had to wait several months to visit the restaurant again on an unrelated trip to Denver, and check the name again. We've since learned how to make it, and it's delicious.
