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. Stir in the olives and bay leaves. Add 4 cups water or enough to fully cover the beef and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Look for chuck roast or flank steak that is well-marbled. This will ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
  • Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Some good choices include onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes.
  • Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to season the stew. You can also add other spices to taste, such as oregano, thyme, or bay leaves.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Some good choices include rice, beans, tortillas, or bread.

Conclusion:

Carne guisada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover beef and vegetables, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your stew spicy or mild, thick or thin, there is a carne guisada recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a hearty and comforting meal, give carne guisada a try.
