Rio Grande Valley Style Carne Guisada image

This TexMex beef stew recipe was adapted from the recipe used by Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, a popular Houston restaurant. I add one chopped jalapeno pepper with the green bell pepper (not listed below), and serve it with a mound of mexican rice (like #41167) in the bowl.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs round steaks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups water
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 onion, sliced
1 fresh tomato, diced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cube meat (about 1"), removing all fat and gristle.
  • Sear meat in oil.
  • Add water and cook on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Toast cumin seeds in a small sauté skillet on medium-high until they begin to smoke slightly.
  • Grind the hot cumin seeds with a mortar and pestle.
  • Add oregano, ground toasted cumin, black pepper, salt and garlic to the meat.
  • Add vegetables (bell pepper, onion and tomato) and continue to cook about 30 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce, chili powder and paprika.
  • Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
  • While the meat is simmering, heat 2 tbsp oil in a small sauté pan and add flour over medium-low heat.
  • Stir the flour and oil constantly until the flour turns a light golden brown (roux).
  • Add the roux to the meat and continue to simmer for about another 30 minutes.
  • Serve carne guisada with rice and beans and flour or corn tortillas.
  • Note: can speed the cooking time by using a pressure cooker.
