The Peruvian Anticuchos is a recipe created since long ago in Peru. Its preparation uses heart beef cuts prepared in brochettes with a delicious sauce made with Peruvians peppers and spices. It is an alternative from usual beef cuts and will definitely give a new experience to your senses.

Peruvian Anticuchos are such an important dish that it even has a National Day in Peru, on October 17th. The name Anticuchos is a derivation from the quechua “antikichu” which means Andean Cut. Originally for this dish, the meat used was llama meat but over the years the preparation changed to Heart beef since it’s similar and easier to get.

Even though eating the heart beef is not usual in many cultures, this recipe has emigrated to other countries and has earned a reputation because of its great taste. We recommend you this recipe is you are willing to try true Peruvian gastronomy and of course, using the authentic seasonings and peppers is fundamental to obtain a great flavor.
