In this recipe, chunks of lean beef are simmered with fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Mexican seasonings to make a rich spicy gravy (guisada). Serve with warm tortillas and garnish with guacamole, sour cream, and/or cheddar cheese for awesome guisada tacos. If your gravy is too thin, whisk a 1/2 cup of the gravy with 1 tablespoon of flour and stir it back into the meat mixture; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

To select the best chuck roast for your carne guisada, look for a piece of meat with good marbling. This will help to ensure that the beef is flavorful and tender after it is cooked.
If you don't have time to brown the beef in a skillet, you can brown it in the slow cooker. Simply add the beef to the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour, or until the beef is browned on all sides.
Be sure to use a good quality tomato sauce for your carne guisada. A homemade tomato sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you are short on time.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your carne guisada. Some popular additions include bell peppers, onions, carrots, and potatoes.
Serve carne guisada with rice, tortillas, or bread. It is also a great topping for nachos or tacos.

Conclusion:

Carne guisada is a delicious and versatile dish that is easy to make. It is a great choice for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its rich flavor and tender beef, carne guisada is sure to please everyone at your table.
