Beef steak casserole with tamarillo is a traditional dish that has its roots in the home cooking of several Latin American countries, especially in Ecuador and Colombia. This recipe is characterized by combining local and fresh ingredients, with a focus on intense and comforting flavors. The tamarillo, also known as tree tomato in some countries, is a fruit that adds acidity and a distinctive touch to the preparation.
In different Latin American regions, the preparation may vary slightly and the dish goes by various names, such as "beef casserole with tree tomato" in Colombia or simply "beef steak casserole" in certain areas of Ecuador. However, the essence of the dish always remains: a tender meat slow-cooked under layers of vegetables and tamarillo, achieving a perfect balance between texture and flavor.
