Authentic Argentinian Locro Recipe | Hearty Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup dried white beans
  • 1 cup diced beef
  • 1 cup diced pork
  • 1 cup chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Soak the Beans

    Soak the dried white beans in water overnight. Drain before use.

    This helps the beans cook faster.
  2. Brown the Meats

    In a large pot, brown the diced beef, pork, and chorizo over medium heat.

    This adds flavor to the broth.
  3. Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until translucent.

    Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the soaked beans, corn, potatoes, paprika, cumin, and beef broth.

    Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Simmer

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 2-3 hours until beans are tender.

    Stir occasionally and add water if needed.
  6. Season

    Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

    Taste before serving to ensure flavor balance.
  7. Serve Hot

    Ladle the locro into bowls and serve hot.

    Great with crusty bread on the side.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Let the locro sit for a while to enhance the taste. Pair with a glass of Malbec wine for an authentic experience.
