CARNE GUISADA (MEXICAN BEEF STEW)



Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew) image

While living in San Antonio, Texas and working at a Mexican restaurant I fell in love with this Mexican Stew. It is so flavorful and delicious that it is in my top 3 favorite dishes to make that's Mexican. Regular beef stew does not compare to the taste of this stew. I had to learn how to make it myself because since I left Texas I have not been able to find this at any Mexican restaurant, in Ohio that is. Not sure why, because if I owned a Mexican restaurant it would be on the menu EVERY day!! It is incredible and anyone that tries it falls in love with it too. Now, you can adjust this to your spicy heat level by omitting some of the peppers but they do add to the unique flavor of this stew. I just made this last night and let it cook in the crockpot on low for 10 hours. When we woke in the morning the aroma of this stew was drifting through the entire house! Oh my......I couldn't wait and had a Carne Guisada taco for breakfast. LOL This can also be eaten over some rice or even noodles too. I always eat this in a flour tortilla with some Mexican cheese and a small dollup of sour cream.

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 pound(s) beef stew meat
3 can(s) diced tomatoes
1 bottle(s) negra modelo (mexican lager style beer) or guinness
2 can(s) green chilies, 4 oz. cans
3/4 cup(s) fire roasted jalapenos, finely chopped
2 tablespoon(s) ground cumin
1 tablespoon(s) ground coriander seed
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) badia's complete seasoning
4 tablespoon(s) adobo sauce
3 - 5 medium chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
5 - cloves of garlic, chopped
2 medium green bell peppers, diced
3 tablespoon(s) cilantro, dried
2 medium serrano chiles, seeds removed
1/4 cup(s) goya's sofrito, optional
- flour for thickening if necessary
FOR CARNE GUISADA TACOS
2 - dozen flour tortillas
- fresh shredded blend of mexican cheeses
- cilantro, fresh
- sour cream

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Rinse off the beef cubes and pat dry. Place flour in a bag or bowl and coat the beef cubes. Next, heat your oil in a pan and brown the meat for about 5 minutes and then place in your crockpot.
  • Next, saute your onions, garlic and bell peppers. Pour your bottle of beer over the meat in the crock pot and then add your sauteed vegetable. Next, add the rest of your ingredients. No need to cut up the chipotle or serranos as they break down while cooking. Cook this on low and slow for 8 to 10 hours. Serve in warm flour tortillas with shredded cheese and a small dollop of sour cream if desired or a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro. (This is a thick stew, so if it's not thick enough add a mixture of flour and water.)
  • SUPREME TACO: Alright, now if you really want this Carne Guisada to go along way you can make a Supreme Taco and the base starts with refried beans.
  • SUPREME TACO: Heat the beans in a skillet until nice and hot. Then, spread the beans out on the flour tortilla.
  • SUPREME TACO: Add your Carne Guisada on top of beans, maybe 4 pieces of meat and a generous amount of Mexican cheese blend. Next, add sour cream and some fresh chopped cilantro. Now, if you are going to make this for a larger crowd make up the tacos yourself and wrap then in a square piece of tinfoil. You can get a nice big box of already cut square tinfoil at Sam's Club. When you wrap them up the cheese is going to melt and they are just wonderful.
  • 11-26-13 ---Made this for Girl's Night In which was perfect for the chilli night we had here in Ohio. I served it with some Mexican rice, warmed tortillas and a non-alcoholic Sangria. We had a broccoli salad before and apple dumplings w/vanilla ice cream for dessert.
  • 10/20/14 --- Cooked up my Carne Guisada in my Ninja as I had to get it done faster than I usually do with a 8 to 10 hr cook in the traditional crock-pot. I was able to cook it up in 4 1/2 hours. I served it with Mexican rice, cheesy dip & chips for dinner.

CROCK POT CARNE GUISADA (MEXICAN BEEF STEW)



Crock Pot Carne Guisada (Mexican Beef Stew) image

This was one of my mother-in-law's recipes and I just loved it. Of course she didn't even own a crock pot so everything was done "old school". I adapted her recipe to a crock pot version and it turns out similar to hers. Of course nobody can cook like or mothers and mother-in-laws but my husband let this pass. ;)

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pound(s) beef stew meat
2 can(s) diced tomatoes with green chilies, (rotel) medium or hot
1 tablespoon(s) chopped garlic
1 large onion, chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoon(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) mexican oregano
1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 teaspoon(s) chili powder
1 teaspoon(s) salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place stew meat, 1/2 cup water, salt and pepper in crock pot.
  • Drain juice from tomatoes into measuring cup.
  • Add tomatoes, garlic, onions and potatoes to crock pot.
  • Combine juice from tomatoes and enough water to equal 2 cups liquid. Add cumin, oregano, and chili powder and flour into tomato juice mixture and mix well. Add to crock pot.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook on LOW for 6 - 7 hours until sauce is thickened and meat and veggies are tender.
  • Great served with warm flour tortillas.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of beef is crucial. Look for chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs for optimal flavor and tenderness after slow cooking.
  • Brown the beef before slow cooking to develop a rich, caramelized flavor. This step adds depth to the final stew.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. Leave enough space for the ingredients to cook evenly and avoid a watery stew.
  • Use a combination of canned and fresh tomatoes for a balanced flavor profile. Canned tomatoes provide a concentrated tomato flavor, while fresh tomatoes add a bright and juicy element.
  • Season the stew generously with a blend of spices like cumin, chili powder, oregano, and paprika. These spices impart a classic Mexican flavor to the dish.
  • Incorporate a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and carrots for added texture and nutrition. These vegetables also contribute to the flavorful broth.
  • Add beans to the stew for a protein boost and a hearty texture. Black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans are all excellent choices.
  • Garnish the stew with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving. These garnishes add a pop of color, freshness, and a burst of flavor to the stew.

Conclusion:

Carne Guisada is a delightful Mexican beef stew that showcases the richness of slow-cooked beef, a blend of aromatic spices, and an assortment of colorful vegetables. With its tender meat, flavorful broth, and hearty texture, this dish is a true comfort food. Whether served with rice, tortillas, or bread, Carne Guisada is sure to warm your soul and satisfy your taste buds. Experiment with different ingredients and spice combinations to create your own personalized version of this classic Mexican stew. ¡Buen provecho!
