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.

DK'S CARNE GUISADA



Dk's Carne Guisada image

This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. This recipe is from a small town church cookbook I received as a wedding present 26 years ago. Posted here for safekeeping. Recipe is credited to Laverne McKoy. You'll find this dish goes together quickly and is very simple. I've made it in a crock pot, on the stove or in the oven. Just adjust the cooking times for your situation. The traditional way to serve this is as a stew with warm flour tortillas on the side. We usually spoon it into the tortilla and eat as a taco with cheese and sour cream.

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 lb) roast, cut into cubes
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (I use more)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups water
salt and pepper
4 large jalapenos, chopped (remove seeds and membrane for milder taste)

Steps:

  • Brown meat and onions together.
  • Add small amount of oil if needed.
  • Add flour and stir well.
  • Add tomatoes and water.
  • Stir and add spices and peppers.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let simmer several hours until meat is tender and has a thick sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality beef chuck roast. Ask your butcher to cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
  • Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. If you crowd the pan, the meat will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for this recipe to evenly distribute heat and prevent scorching.
  • Don't skip the step of deglazing the pot with red wine. This adds a rich, complex flavor to the sauce.
  • Be patient and let the stew simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the carne guisada with warm tortillas, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.

Conclusion:

George Strait's carne guisada is a delicious and hearty Mexican stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef chuck roast. With its tender beef, flavorful sauce, and simple ingredients, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
