While living away from Texas for a while, my boyfriend and I grew homesick for the spicy flavors of home. We've made this recipe a few times now, and it goes really well with homemade flour tortillas. We love it over rice, too. -Kelly Evans, Denton, Texas

CARNE GUISADA



Carne Guisada image

Muy Bueno! Seasoned perfectly, this Carne guisada is very, very good. The combination of fresh vegetables and cumin is fabulous. Once cooked, the meat is tender with a sauce that gets thickened at the end. This stew is simple to prepare but does take time to cook down. Don't rush it... The key to this recipe is low and slow....

CARNE GUISADA



Carne Guisada image

Carne guisada, a hearty beef stew packed with Caribbean flavors, is my absolute favorite Puerto Rican meal. There's always something comforting about this meal that makes me feel close to home, and especially close to my family. I make this dish every week for my children, but when I do I eat it all day too.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds chuck roast or other beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup adobo
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup thick-cut carrot rounds (1 to 2 large carrot)
1 cup peeled and diced potatoes (1 medium potato)
1/4 cup sofrito with recao (culantro)
2 tablespoons sazón con achiote (5 packets)
10 pimento-stuffed olives
3 dried bay leaves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the beef in a medium bowl, sprinkle with the adobo, toss to coat and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring frequently, until seared and mostly browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the meat is coated. Stir in the carrots, potatoes and sofrito until coated. Stir in the sazón until coated.

  • Remove the stew from the heat and adjust the seasoning if needed. Discard the bay leaves. Stir in the cilantro before serving with white rice.

CARNE GUISADA (STEWED BEEF)



Carne Guisada (Stewed Beef) image

Among the most recognizable dishes of my culture, carne guisada will cure what ails you. Beef is slowly braised with aromatic sofrito and tomatoes, producing a rich, delicious dish you're likely to eat too much of. For those who have lived in Puerto Rican enclaves such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago or Orlando, Fla., this is a daily staple at cafeteria-style lunch counters, as it is on the island. You can also use this recipe to make pollo guisado, equally popular and common, simply by using chicken and adjusting the cooking time accordingly.

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast or boneless short ribs (see Note), trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
1 cup fresh sofrito
1 tablespoon store-bought or homemade sazón
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth (or water), plus more if needed
1 (14.5-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
3 dried bay leaves
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the adobo: Combine the adobo ingredients in a small bowl, or blend in a large pilón or mortar and pestle.
  • Prepare the guisado: Pat meat dry and put in a medium lidded bowl or a resealable bag. Evenly coat with the adobo and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large lidded, heavy-bottomed pot over high. Working in batches as needed to prevent crowding, add beef, shaking loose any additional adobo beforehand. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping often to brown evenly. Transfer meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • Lower heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and pour in sofrito, adding olive oil as needed if the pan is too dry. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until liquid has evaporated.
  • Add sazón and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broth (or water), tomatoes and their juices, and bay leaves, and scrape up any browned bits using a wooden spoon.
  • Nestle meat into sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Add carrot and celery, and cook, covered, for 1 more hour, adding more water or broth if needed. At this stage, check the tenderness of the meat. It should start to get close to falling apart when pressed with the back of a spoon.
  • Add potatoes and cook, covered, for 30 minutes more, until meat and potatoes are cooked through and tender.
  • Adjust salt to taste, and serve on a plate or in a shallow bowl over a mound of white rice.

CARNE GUISADA



Carne Guisada image

Tex-Mex style beef stew. Great all by itself, with rice, tortillas and sliced avocados. Perfect over the top of cheese enchiladas. Use leftovers over nachos. You can added Jalapenos or other chilis if you want more kick, but the rotell tomatoes add a little kick already. Serve with some sour cream to cut the heat.

  • Browning the meat in batches ensures that it gets a nice sear and develops flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when adding the meat. This will prevent it from steaming instead of browning.

  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides, such as rice, tortillas, or bread.
