CARNE GUISADA CON PAPAS



Carne Guisada con Papas image

Adapted from Adán Medrano, a Houston-based chef and writer, this steak-and-potato guisada, or stew, uses technique and time to draw out flavor from just a handful of ingredients. Beef and potatoes are centuries-old pantry essentials in South Texas, and this dish is served in homes and family-run restaurants all over the region. While many restaurants tend to cook the steak in large pieces, cutting the meat into small cubes allows the beef to soak up more flavor. The key is the Texas Mexican spice blend - black peppercorns, cumin and garlic - plus a little fresh Serrano. Serve with tortillas and an optional garnish of cilantro and chile.

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 Serrano chile, minced, plus additional sliced Serrano for garnish (optional)
15 whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds bottom round steak or beef chuck, fat trimmed and meat cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large white onion, halved and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
2 medium waxy potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Warmed corn or flour tortillas, for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic, minced chile, peppercorns and cumin seeds into a smooth paste. Add 1/4 cup water and mash until the paste is incorporated into the water. Transfer the mixture to a measuring cup. (Alternately, blend the garlic, minced chile, peppercorns and cumin seeds in a blender with about 1/4 cup water, occasionally scraping down the sides of the blender until very well blended, about 5 minutes.)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium. Add half the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and meat. Return the browned meat to the Dutch oven then add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour and 1 teaspoon salt over the beef and stir to incorporate, then add the blended garlicky liquid and just enough water to barely cover the meat (about 2 cups). Increase the heat to medium-high and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the Dutch oven, releasing any browned bits.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil, then immediately lower the heat so that it cooks at a low simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and stir in the cubed potatoes. Let the guisada cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Divide among bowls and serve with hot tortillas, plus cilantro and sliced chile, if using.

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.

Categories     meat, soups and stews, vegetables, main course

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.
