Carne Guisada is a mexican stew meat... it is one of my favorites when cooked properly. You can eat this in a tortilla or on a plate with rice and beans. Its great with cheese and avacado slices as condiments.

Time 5h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb stew meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion (diced)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (medium to hot heat)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 cups water
1 -2 tablespoon flour

Steps:

  • Dredge stew meat in flour.
  • In a large stock pot brown the beef on medium high heat in 2 tbsp of olive oil. remove meat.
  • Add in 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook on medium heat.
  • Add in the onions until translucent.
  • Add the garlic and cook about 1 more minute.
  • Throw in the browned meat and add herbs, spices, water and canned tomatoes.
  • Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • And turn heat down to low and simmer for 5 hours.
  • I sometimes take a short cut and dredge and brown the meat in a skillet then throw everything in a crock pot and let simmer on low for 6-8 hours depending on how tender you like the meat. You can also cut down on the water quite a bit when using the crock pot and add water as needed.
