Preparation:
Blend the garlic cloves, chopped onion, lemon juice and beer to obtain a puree.
Mix in the achiote, cumin, oregano and salt.
Place the cubed beef in a non-reactive bowl and combine with the marinade. Cover and let rest in the fridge for at least two hours (overnight is ideal).
Heat the butter (or lard) in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the beef and braise slowly until all the liquid is evaporated and the meat begins to brown. Stir frequently until the meat is browned on all sides.
Add salt if needed and serve.
