CARNE GUISADA CON PAPAS (MEAT & POTATOES)



Carne Guisada con Papas (Meat & Potatoes) image

This wonderful stew has endless variations. Sometimes I add fresh or canned corn. You will notice that the recipe calls for a comparatively small amount of chili powder and cumin; however, keep in mind that this is not chili. You want the allow the flavor of your good beef to prevail and your jalapeos to sing.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds beef round steaks cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning (optional, but nice if you have it)
1 large onion chopped
4 cloves minced or press garlic
3 large baked potatoes peeled and cubed
8 ounces tomato sauce
3 cups beef broth
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup water
2 fresh, seeded and finely chopped jalapeno chiles
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, brown steak pieces in the oil in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven. (Really brown the meat -- not just let it turn gray). Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is transparent. Add the potatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, adobo, stock, wine and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for one hour. Stir in the jalapeos, chili powder and cumin, and continue simmering, uncovered, for 1 hour until beef is tender. Makes 4 to 6 servings, depending upon appetites.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or flank steak are good options for this dish.
  • Brown the beef in batches: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from stewing.
  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the meat from sticking.
  • Add enough liquid: The beef should be covered by liquid, but not completely submerged.
  • Simmer the beef until it is tender: This could take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the cut of beef.
  • Add the potatoes and carrots in the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will ensure that they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Season the dish to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin are all good options.
  • Serve the beef and potatoes over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Conclusion:

Carne con Papas is a classic Mexican dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and authentic version of this dish at home.
